About the Item
This large-scale custom display cabinet or bookcase was designed and manufactured in Los Angeles, featuring a striking architectural grid composition that balances industrial materials with warm wood accents. The piece is constructed with a blackened metal frame paired with wooden box-style inserts, creating depth, rhythm, and visual contrast across its expansive façade.
The modular layout offers a variety of open compartments and recessed wooden niches, with dedicated provisions for glass shelving, making the piece highly versatile for use as a display cabinet, bookcase, retail fixture, or room divider. Its bold horizontal scale and clean rectilinear lines make it particularly well-suited for contemporary, modern, loft, or commercial interiors.
The open metal framework provides a light architectural presence despite the substantial size, while the wood inserts introduce warmth and texture. This combination allows the cabinet to function equally well in residential settings—such as living rooms, studios, or libraries—or in boutique, gallery, or showroom environments.
Condition is consistent with use and custom fabrication, showing nicks, scratches, and surface wear to both the metal frame and wood components, as documented in the photographs. The wear does not affect structural integrity and is consistent with an industrial-style piece of this scale.
A distinctive one-of-a-kind Los Angeles–made storage and display solution, offering flexibility, presence, and architectural character.
