The elegant forms and sophisticated finishes of the Näyttely display cabinet form an elegant whole. Light flows freely through the glass doors and walls, giving the cabinet with a solid wood frame a light and airy feel.
Re-issued in autumn 2020, the Näyttely display cabinet can be adjusted for a range of interiors according to the chosen wood, surface treatment and finish on the rear. Mahogany, walnut, oak and pale Scandinavian birch can be combined equally well with raw linen or clear, black or mirrored glass.
The cabinet is a versatile storage solution. The hand-cut glass shelves make sure vignettes of treasured objects stand in the limelight, while the glass doors protect books and tableware from dust. Due to its small size, the cabinet suits a range of purposes and looks right in different areas of the home. The beautiful finish on the back means the cabinet can also be used as a room divider.
Hiort af Ornäs originally designed the Näyttely display cabinet in 1955 as an interior element for Finnish embassies. Each cabinet is still handmade in Finland to the finest detail using the same original methods.
