Story
A house in the house
The Farns Highboard is a striking, self-contained little building in a living space, an homage to the Bauhaus. Like modernist architecture it plays with light and shade, form and geometry, wood and glass, and it is clear and innovative like Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House.
Interior that seems never-ending
The mirrored interior walls give the cabinet a special effect, and the drawers and doors open 180 degrees. The interior fittings can be installed anywhere and exchanged whenever required.
