Thought by: Molteni&C

Category: Cabinets and containers

Living Box was conceived as an independent item of furniture, usable in any room of the house, but mainly suitable for the living room.

Vincent Van Duysen

Living Box is a low, but large (230, 280, 330, 380) doorless rectangular container, in which the outside and inside contrast with each other via the use of different materials. The top features marble and different woods, specially arranged to decorate the surface. The whole is enclosed within an iris and pewter frame, thread-like if seen from above, but forming a thick profile surrounding the inside space if seen from the front. The top can be fitted and integrated with trunking, useful for facilitating connections of any kind between multimedia equipment, TVs or lighting equipment. The rest of the top can be left free or used to display artistic or personal ornaments.

The inside space recalls a “magical cave” and features numerous surprises. The woods used, including Eucalyptus and the new Sunrise Oak finish, are the facing materials used, and which completely envelop and mark the perimeter.

The space created in this way allows any type of object to be displayed at will.

“Very architectural and referring to the world of Gio Ponti, Living Box is distinguished by its different use of materials and its refined details. Very present and graphic, it’s steeped in the tradition of Italian craftsmanship and it’s definitely a key piece in one’s
living room. Many small details make the product one of a kind, for instance the combination of materials, the internal built-in lighting, and so on.”

Vincent Van Duysen

Suffused lighting is provided by Leds. The inside space is completely free and devoid of sharp corners thanks to special curved corner-covers. The space created in this way allows any type of object to be displayed at will.

These occupy the free space, concealing what is useful but preferably not visible. The sets of drawers are self-standing and can be placed in any part of the room, giving rise to multiple configurations: small architectural items within a larger shell.
