Black Wooden Cube by Derk Jan de Vries
Description
A simple geometric form gives this black wooden cube its distinctive presence. Derk Jan de Vries softened the strict silhouette with rounded corners and subtle construction details. The dark finish still reveals the natural grain of the wood.
A hinged panel opens to reveal a concealed storage compartment. When opened horizontally, the panel extends beyond the cube and changes its appearance. This playful construction blurs the line between storage, side table and sculptural object.
Two circular cut-outs add a small graphic detail to the otherwise restrained exterior. They contrast with the dark wood and emphasize the functional character of the design.
Its compact proportions make the cube easy to place throughout an interior. Use it beside a sofa, next to a lounge chair or as a bedside piece. It can also stand alone as a quiet architectural accent.
The design reflects the modular approach associated with Derk Jan de Vries. Function, construction and form come together without unnecessary decoration. The result feels both practical and sculptural.
