The Metamorphosis v2 Cabinet is a contemporary drinks cabinet inspired by transformation, master craftsmanship, and the innate beauty of natural materials. As the second iteration of the original Metamorphosis Cabinet, it reflects the maker’s ongoing commitment to refining her craft. Its organic, sculptural form creates an immediate sense of curiosity, inviting the viewer to touch and interact, while opening the doors reveals a thoughtfully organized interior tailored for presenting fine spirits, glassware, and bar accessories.
The cabinet is cloaked in richly figured Passiflora burl veneer, where soft curves and sculpted doors contrast beautifully against a dark, powder-coated metal frame. Inside, a warm, chocolate-toned oak interior creates an indulgent setting for storing drinks. This harmonious dialogue between warm timber and black steel strikes a delicate balance of elegance and structural strength, while the elevated base lends the piece a light, floating silhouette.
Inside, the cabinet features dedicated bottle compartments, stemware hanging storage, and a push-to-open drawer featuring hand-cut dovetails and an aromatic sweet cedar base. Inscribed on the drawer bottom are the Latin words: In vino veritas – In wine, there is truth. Every element of the internal layout has been designed to make its contents visually striking, effortlessly accessible, and gracefully presented.
Metamorphosis v2 represents a subtle evolution of the original design, born from practical making, precise evaluation, and a deeper exploration of the relationship between cabinet, stand, and user experience.
The name Metamorphosis speaks to the magic that unfolds as the piece transforms from a closed, sculptural form into an open, inviting sanctuary for entertaining. It seamlessly marries form, storage, and interaction in a single statement piece, showcasing the extraordinary character of its raw materials and the enduring value of fine studio furniture making.
