Koa Cases

CONTACT US

These cupboards flank an entry corridor into a light-filled, octagonal dining room. They are made of solid curly koa wood, a rare Hawaiian wood that is increasingly difficult to obtain at any price. The wood has striking grain pattern and color, seen in the dramatic bookmatched panels of the lower cases.


The overall design emphasized clarity and continuity in the curved lines and carved molding of the bonnet top. The contours of the upper doors follow this gentle curve, as does the mullions, lower apron, and frame and panel doors. In addition, each case features two drawers with ebony pulls, a recessed shelf, and keyed locks on all drawers and cabinets. The mirrored backs of the upper cases reflect the elegant framing of the curved mullions, and the glowing koa cases themselves, as they stand opposite in recessed niches.
