Sindre Iron Cabinet - Gunmetal

This slim gunmetal cabinet has two glazed doors, each divided into four panes by narrow iron bars, with an open shelf framed beneath them. It is made of 80% iron and 20% glass, so the frame, the shelves and the door surrounds are metal and the glass is there to show what you keep inside. It measures 46cm long, 21.5cm wide and 61cm tall, and it weighs 6.25KG. Behind the doors a single shelf splits the inside into two compartments. Each door has its own curved iron pull and hangs on hinges at its outer edge, so the pair opens from the middle.

Its shallow footprint suits a sideboard, a chest of drawers or a hallway console, leaving room in front for a lamp. Glass doors keep dust off what sits behind them while leaving it on view, so this is a display cabinet first: vases, small ceramics, a few treasured pieces of pottery or a row of keepsakes look their best behind the panes. In a living room, a study or a bedroom it gives a shelf of small things a proper home, and the open shelf beneath takes the books, boxes and odds and ends you reach for more often. It suits anyone who likes their things out on show but tidy.

The iron is powder coated and finished with a water based lacquer, and care is simple: wipe it clean with a moist cloth. The maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download. The styling props shown are not included. For a practical start, put pieces with warm colour or a bit of shine behind the glass, where the gunmetal bars frame them, and give the open shelf a short stack of books and a small box.
