Teahouse Cabinet
Made by Ceccotti Collezioni
Designed by Christophe Pillet
Conceived by Christophe Pillet for Ceccotti Collezioni, the Teahouse Cabinet translates the quiet ceremony of tea into furniture form. Its proportions are compact and considered, the silhouette defined by an X-shaped base that lifts the cabinet body with a sense of balance and restrained lightness.
The construction reflects Ceccotti's deep commitment to traditional joinery. Hinged doors are crafted using time-honored woodworking techniques, while the custom solid oxidized brass hinges were developed exclusively for this design. American walnut forms the primary material, available in several wood finishes to suit the surrounding architecture.
Inside, the organization is precise and purposeful:
- Eight small shelves fitted with removable solid wood boxes, each secured by magnets
- A three-part upper shelf scaled for cups and ceramic vessels
- Compartments for teapots, loose leaf teas, and ceramic sets
Pillet brings a French sensibility to Italian craft, finding clarity in constraint. The Teahouse Cabinet is as much an object of contemplation as it is of daily use.
