STÜCK
The solid elm wood furniture piece was constructed using a traditional frame-building technique, yet features several distinctive details. It is based on a dressing table design, but unlike conventional versions, it can be used both while sitting and standing. This is made possible by a mirror tilted at an angle of 3°. The piece can be opened and closed via two flaps, keeping its interior and any clutter concealed from view. Similar to a secretary desk, the front flap serves as a shelf and, thanks to the integrated drop-front hinge, can also be used as a work surface. As the mirror is not permanently fixed but simply inserted into place, it can be removed at any time. This allows the furniture to change its function and effortlessly shift between two typologies.
