Cavus Cabinet
Designer:
Jan Ernst
Part of the Cavus Collection by Jan Ernst, the Cavus Cabinet reimagines the Karoo's subterranean cavities as a vessel for storage within living. An oval monolith of white ceramic split by a precise vertical slit that opens up a tiered shelves within. The form suggests something half-excavated from semi-arid soil, both ancient and immediate, a piece that honors what we choose to conceal and what we permit to be seen.
