PnP Furniture (Plank and Point) introduces Cabinet Collection
PnP Furniture (Plank and Point) introduces the Cabinet Collection, a series of storage pieces constructed through a modular system of planks and exposed screw connections. The series draws on the logic of wooden fences, where evenly spaced vertical boards create rhythm, order, and enclosure through simple modular components.
The arrangement of regularly dimensioned planks establishes a consistent visual cadence. This ordered framework provides a structured setting for the objects stored within, addressing the need for coordination as personal belongings accumulate over time. Rather than concealing storage, the system defines it through visible construction and measured spacing.
The material approach begins with cut timber in its sectional state. By standardizing dimensions and reorganizing wooden elements according to a defined assembly rule, the collection reframes wood as both structural unit and surface. The process emphasizes the inherent qualities of timber while introducing a new configuration that differs from its natural form.

Rhythm, repairability, and modularity define the collection
The Cabinet Collection also reconsiders the role of the cabinet within contemporary interiors. As built-in storage is typically integrated into walls, freestanding cabinetry often recedes from attention. This project restores its physical presence, treating the cabinet as an independent architectural element within the room.
Construction is based on a system that increases the number of connection points while reducing rigidity between parts. Instead of relying on fixed joints, adhesives, or concealed fasteners, the components are segmented and connected in a way that allows for measured flexibility. This method enables individual elements to be replaced if damaged, supporting maintenance and long-term use.
By prioritizing assembly over seamless enclosure, the designers of PnP Furniture position the cabinet as an open system composed of distinct yet coordinated parts. The result is a modular structure that emphasizes rhythm, repairability, and an ongoing relationship between material, object, and space.
