“Cubic root” is a collection of modular cubic storage units playing with two contrasting materials in an astonishing combination: the cubic units are clad with «telluric» metal skin and stand on transparent and illuminated legs.
Available in Brass or Aluminium (polished or nickel plated), the skins are textured in 3 different patterns, “Flesh”, “Network” or “Vein” each evoking states of matter solidification.
“flesh” is a solid brass cast of dried natural plant fiber of prickly pear cactus, visually similar to the muscle vascular/innervation system.
“network” is also a cast of Coral where the connections through the body members of this sea animal form a real network.
“vein” is another cast of Coral, structurally and visually close to the vascular system.
The legs are made of solid polyester and decorated with perforations that reflect a built-in, dimmable, LED light, and provide immaterial roots to the contrasting metal units.
Cubic Root units are available in 7 standard configurations, and several leg combinations are purposed for each category.
Custom buildout available for accessories and mobile shelving.
