About Force/Collide

Force/Collide was created in 2013 by Seattle-based metalsmith Chelsea Gaddy as a platform for building high-end furniture and architectural works. Our design is rooted in a mix of distinct geometry, the attitude of clean minimalism and dramatic materiality; the process, always in the upmost care for quality and integrity. Our fabrication process demands attention to detail and refined technique at every stop, treating each piece as an heirloom to future generations. We strive to push the boundary of possibility while meeting every parameter of function and design. In 2...Read More

Meridian Modular Credenza, Trio, Modern Steel Corner Cabinet, by Force/Collide
By Force Collide
Located in Seattle, WA
The most versatile piece of furniture in Force/Collide's portfolio, the Meridian Modular Credenza is an all-steel, sturdy and modern construction consisting of double-sided paneling with no exposed fasteners. It provides total flexibility; the credenza breaks apart into three individual cabinetry components that can be reconfigured in numerous ways, or rather isolated and used independently. Hyper-dimensional in any arrangement, there is virtually no top or bottom to any one of the three components, lending them to function seamlessly in every 90 degree rotation. The use of geometry and mirrored symmetry in every position is not only aesthetic but maximizes storage capacity. This position features: Corner position The corner position is the crux of flexibility for the Meridian Modular Credenza. Designed to give maximal storage in a minimal amount of space, one side of the right-hand unit has been left open to create an access point to the cabinet. The removable door being a key feature for this configuration, all shelves are fully accessible and surface counter area is equivalent to the horizontal configuration. Features The cabinet comes with a removable, reversible door that accommodates every configuration with more than one option. Key design features making this possible: no hardware is visible, magnets are positioned to hold the door in place when closed, and chains can be added or removed from the frame to act as a stop when the door is open in the horizontal position. This gives three ways to use the cabinet: like a door (see horizontal position), like a writing desk (see below), or completely open (see corner position). Adjustable feet provide a guarantee that surfaces can be made level with one another in circumstances where floors may not be level or weight distribution becomes uneven, and finally, the units bolt together from the inside of the cabinet at hidden anchor points to lock it into its proper position and eliminate gaps once level. Details The surface quality of the hot rolled steel used to make the Meridian is scratch-free and luxe, the mill scale patterning carefully paired and emboldened by the process of oiling, buffing and waxing. The framing is blackened to match, while the silver edges of the sheet metal form highlights that act as a geometric mapping of the mirroring cavities. Other positions include: Horizontal position Spanning almost 8 feet across, and hitting 3 feet high, this is the perfect position for use as a traditional credenza...
