Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Cappellini Progetti Compiuti collection?
Progetti Compiuti is Cappellini's re-edition program dedicated to recovering works of enduring formal and cultural significance by major designers. Each piece is produced with fidelity to the original design specifications, preserving both the intent and the integrity of the work.
Is the Dinah chest of drawers in any museum collections?
Yes. The Dinah chest of drawers by Shiro Kuramata is held in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, recognizing its standing as a significant work in twentieth-century design history.
How do the drawers on the Dinah chest function?
Each of the eighteen drawers is engineered to open in either direction, left or right, rather than following a fixed pull orientation. This bidirectional mechanism is central to Kuramata's original 1970 conception of the piece.
What materials are used in the Dinah chest of drawers?
The drawers are constructed from wood finished in matte white lacquer, while the structural frame is laser-cut metal finished in black epoxy powder. The pairing of these two surfaces, matte and rigid, soft and architectural, defines the piece's visual character.
Who was Shiro Kuramata and why does his work matter?
Shiro Kuramata (1934-1991) was a Japanese designer whose practice consistently pushed furniture toward the condition of sculpture, using industrial materials and formal restraint to create objects of profound atmospheric presence. His work remains among the most studied and collected in twentieth-century design.
