One of the requirements in the fourth and final year of my design studies, 1962 to be exact, was a “testimony” piece.  A piece of furniture which was an exposé, a testament, of one’s design and making skills.  I chose a wine cabinet.  It has three compartments with fold down doors.  The outside ones have racks which can hold eighteen bottles of wine.  The center holds however many bottles or glasses you can stand in there.

The result is a very heavy box which is to be about thirty six inches from the floor.  My goal was to design an elegant but solid support in contrast to the cuboid lump.
