Zero X Cabinet

Written By Rachel Hicks

Ripple Sycamore, Brass, Glass, Gold Leaf

Guild Mark 279

 
 

This cabinet develops from an early investigation into corrugated plywood, where flat material is cut and formed to generate structure. A circular door is machined with concentric grooves, allowing it to fold into a continuous surface.

The exterior is finished in gesso and gold leaf, emphasising the geometry of the form. Inside, radial segments of ripple sycamore extend this language, supported by a bespoke brass hinge developed to carry the weight of the door.

The piece explores how structure, surface and ornament can be integrated into a single constructed form.
