Slim Side Vertical Cabinet
Made by Henge
Designed by Massimo Castagna
Massimo Castagna approaches storage as architecture. The Slim Side Vertical Cabinet is a highboard distilled to its essential geometry: a tall, composed volume whose presence reads across a room without demanding attention.
The 2.5 cm plywood frame is coated in hand-finished metal, a process that introduces subtle tonal variation from piece to piece. No two cabinets are identical. Bronze glass lines the back panel and carries through to the interior shelving, casting a warm, reflective atmosphere when the doors are opened.
A 13 cm wooden base lifts the cabinet just enough to give the silhouette a quality of lightness, allowing the form to float above the floor plane. Interior configurations include:
- Bronze glass shelves throughout
- Shelves paired with an integrated wine glass holder
- LED interior lighting
Henge, founded in Milan, occupies a precise position between furniture and sculpture. Each piece is made to order, with finishes and proportions considered as a complete sensory whole.

Frequently Asked Questions
What metal finishes are available for the Slim Side Vertical Cabinet?
Henge offers a curated selection of hand-applied metal finishes that vary in tone and depth. Because each finish is applied by hand, the exact palette is best confirmed with a design consultant, and custom finishes may be possible for contract or residential projects.
Can the cabinet dimensions be customized?
Yes. Custom dimensions are available upon request, making the piece well suited to bespoke residential and hospitality interiors where standard sizing may not fit the architecture.
What interior configurations does the Slim Side Vertical offer?
The interior can be specified with three bronze glass shelves for general storage, or with two bronze glass shelves paired with a wine glass holder for use as a private bar or dining cabinet. LED lighting can be added to either configuration.
Who is Massimo Castagna and what defines his design approach?
Massimo Castagna is the creative director and founder of Henge, a Milan-based design house he established in 2009. His work is defined by refined material contrasts, architectural proportion, and a commitment to artisanal production, with metal, stone, and wood frequently placed in dialogue across a single object.
How is the hand-finished metal surface maintained over time?
Hand-applied metal finishes on Henge pieces are best maintained with a dry or very lightly dampened cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners. The finish develops a natural patina with age, which Henge considers an inherent quality of the material rather than a flaw.
