3-drawer cabinet of lacquer carved wood and steel from SoShiro Ainu collection
About the Item
The Mini Aid Wellness Cabinet from SoShiro’s Ainu collection, a collaboration between award-winning artist Toru Kaizawa and Shiro Muchiri, was initially imagined as a large-scale medicine cabinet. Its combination of exquisite craftsmanship with modern manufacturing techniques makes for a versatile storage unit in any room.
Made in Italy from eco-friendly wood and steel, this grey-and-red lacquered cabinet features a utilitarian stainless-steel interior with three drawers that are colour-coded with magnetic and switchable handles and concealed ultra-smooth drawer mechanisms for optimal organisation. Its unique solid-oak handle with a Blakiston’s fish owl eyes motif was designed by celebrated Ainu sculptor Mamoru Kaizawa and beautifully carved by Ainu artisans. The Blakinston’s fish owl, a symbol of protection for the Ainu people, brings to our living spaces the epic story of their community.
The Ainu collection celebrates the artistry of the indigenous Ainu people of the Japanese archipelago and their sacred relationship to forests and nature. For the Ainu, wood is considered an extraordinary material, treated with special care. Each live tree is subject to rituals that inform the sensitive harvesting of bark to make garments and other ornaments. The sculptors commune with the wood they work on and pay homage to the trees.
This "Mini Aid" cabinet has LED lighting to illuminate the cabinet drawers - this is powered by a plug socket.

- Blackened Copper and Wood Hand-Carved Low Relief 9-Compartment CabinetBy Rooms StudioLocated in New York, NYThis elegant and wood, metal, and copper cabinet adorned with blackened copper low-relief motifs is created with expert construction by the design duo Rooms Studio from Tbilisi, Georgia. Each door of the handmade black metal cabinet features a striking hand-carved relief showcasing traditional Georgian and Soviet iconography with a beautiful patina, making the blackened metallic and copper cabinet an exquisite piece for any home. The interior behind the unique doors of each of the 9 compartments is finished in a cheerful salmon color, in contrast to the dark exterior. About the Design Studio: Works of Rooms Studio refer to the sculptural forms and abundant materials in juxtaposition with the feminine instincts. Born and raised in Tbilisi, Georgia, the duo behind the Rooms, Nata Janberidze and Keti Toloraia, lean towards preserving the inherited craftsmanship techniques unique to the region. Massive wood and stone objects are handcrafted using traditional techniques to create raw and symbolic forms often rooted in the designers' childhood memories. Growing up in a culturally diverse environment, where the two worlds - Western and Eastern collide, remarkably influenced their design language. Over the years, Rooms has created eight independent collections and collaborations equally memorable and representative of the duo's perpetual mission to bring life to omitted elements of a former life. Through their series of works, Janberidze and Toloraia try to examine the boundaries between the public and private. Experiencing adolescent years in the 90s - a significant decade of cultural and societal shifts - their work is a narrative of personal experiences of womanhood. By contrasting the new feminine monumental shapes with architectural brutality, Rooms challenges the status quo and also bridges the conventional and contemporary design with a confluence of female energy. The work of Rooms Studio has concerned itself with questions of nomenclature since the Tbilisi-based design atelier was co-founded by Nata Janberidze and Keti Toloraia in 2007. Take, for instance, the studio’s name: in adopting the basic unit of interior space as the title of their practice, Janberidze and Toloraia also emphasized the emotional force of interiority and inner life in determining their creative output. The studio’s largest U.S. exhibition to date, Distant Symphony expands upon this impulse to focus inward. The title is again a chief concern—some of the objects included here were designed during the global pandemic, under a regime of forced isolation that made the studio’s typically collective work process untenable. The pieces shown here are the results of Rooms’ search for a way forward. The first room, an antechamber of sorts, evokes the intimate quality of a private home. Shown here are trinkets and personal effects chosen by Janberidze and Toloraia for their emotive qualities; a low background noise emphasizes the climate of urban domesticity. The ensuing gallery space features highlights of Rooms’ recent design output. Here, the subtle scent of organic materials provides a sensory indication of the atelier’s interest in dichotomies: natural and man-made, personal and collective, local and cosmopolitan. In light of the global circumstances, Janberidze and Toloraia felt it was especially important to pursue collaborative work. Rooms invited three artists—Shotiko Aptsiauri, Salome Chigalashvili and Mariana Chkonia—to conduct a dialogue and shared design process. As such, this exhibition is a kind of polyphonic meditation on a need for solitude and desire for companionship. The practice of polyphonic singing, essential to Georgian folk culture, is reinterpreted here as a design endeavor. Chigilashvili, working with unprocessed yarn, interpreted folk motifs by adapting embroidery to the scale of furniture with expansive stitches applied to painted boards...Category
