Vitra Kast Shelf Unit

A key theme in the oeuvre of Maarten Van Severen is storage furniture, be it shelves, cupboards or sideboards.

Description

The design for Kast, which Van Severen worked on during the last few months of his life, can be considered the quintessence of his exploration of the subject.
Kast is a storage unit that is modular in structure, the basic version of which is a sideboard. Van Severen paid special attention to the colours used for the sliding doors, which not only emphasise Kast’s elegance and classical proportions, but also give it a fresh and optimistic feeling.
