Sculptural altar. Wunderkabinet. A furniture solitaire encapsulating the childhood memory of my mother’s dresser, which used to be a storage for personal artifacts, jewelry, and travel keepsakes.
It consisted of a mysterious jumble of compartments and shelves. This memory inspired me to design a furniture memento. Anne’s Altar. Its heart lies in the drawer unit, consisting of fifteen drawers upholstered in velvet. An intimate space for storing personal valuables, it is every collector’s dream come true.
