About the project

Dime is a dynamic wall-mounted cabinet, with a signature Splinterworks twist of illusion and intrigue. When closed, the semi-spherical shape, with sculptural segments, has a poetic repetition of form.

The edges of the walnut leaves are lined in ripple sycamore veneer which highlights their shape as the curved segments fade in motion.

Dime opens with a pleasing resistance, each segment retracting evenly until fully opened, revealing Dime’s function as a liquor cabinet.

In this bespoke commission, we created a smaller version of the Dime Cabinet with a hand-machined dappled texture added to the surface. This Dime serves as a whiskey bar in the clients’ reception room at their Belgravia home.
