Rotating Media Cabinet
Washington, DC, United States
Installation Video here.Our first furniture project of 2010 was commissioned for a modern
loft condo in the Penn Quarter
neighborhood of Washington DC, directly across the street from Mies van
der Rohe's last building, the Martin
Luther King Jr. Memorial Library. The owner is an avid art
collector and wanted a media cabinet to double as an art display piece
and act as a room divider between the living and dining spaces. He
requested a mix of modern and industrial materials, so we combined
stained, finished wood with raw, unfinished steel.
Custom fabricated 3" steel adjustable lally columns extend floor to
ceiling to support the media cabinet and 2 shelves above. The entire
left side of the media cabinet is cantilevered fora dramatic effect and
minimize contact with the floor. Shelves are 2 layers of 3/4" stained
plywood supported by 2" square steel tubes bolted to the main supports.An additional request was to design the TV mount so it rotated to face
every room in the condo. The center load bearing lally column had to be
heavily modified in order to accomplish this. The guts of a lazy susan
(normally used in kitchen corner cabinets) were installed to provide a
smooth rotation.Detail photos can be seen on our Flickr
page.
