Display cabinet designed with the intention of giving a modern look to an object which is normally cursi (a Spanish term referring to someone or something both pretentious and quaint): the glass-fronted cabinet. Its purpose was to display and at the same time to protect valuable small and delicate pieces.

    The idea is based on a trapezoidal volume on a triangular base which, by means of a mirror at the back,  reconstructs a  parallelepiped. It can be hung on the wall or placed on top of another piece of furniture. Its delicate doors are framed in brass and it comes with optional overhead lighting.
