Story
A front with depth
Studio Kairos designed Dado in 2007 as a large family of storage units. Its tops and sides are deeper than the drawers, a detail that contributes a sense of depth to the front.
Chromatic variations, bright and matt
The family is enhanced by chromatic variations and plays of bright and matt finishes, while the formal rigour of the design is maintained. Chests of drawers that develop vertically or horizontally stand beside less deep elements designed for use at the bedside.
