Dan Turell Cabinet

A cabinet dedicated to the danish poet
Mr. Dan Turell
2002

White Ash and black stained veneer
H:740 W:457 D:283 mm

The Danish Beatpoet Mr. Dan Turell's knife sharp appearance is transformed into the precise black outer shape of the cabinet. On the inside the cabinet is inspired of the white pages of a book. Mr. Dan Turell's characteristic handwriting is blown up in size and made as intarsia inlay.

I am a member of the Danish cabinetmakers association. To celebrate our 10 years anniversary we created an exhibition of cabinets. As a minimal frame within which to work we asked the participants to

1. make word associations based on words ending in -skab (a bit like words ending in- ship in english)

2. The cabinets have to be exactly the same outside measurements.

The exhibition consisted of 11 cabinets.

Please have a look at www.moebelsnedkerforeningen.dk

The exhibition has been shown in Denmark 2002, Sweden 2003, Norway 2005 and Tasmania 2006
