Inspiration for the design comes from the old cupboards
like the ones our grandmothers had. Their glass doors slid inside wooden
guides. The doors had no handles or sophisticated fittings, yet
were easily opened and closed.
Cabinet has no back so as not to cover the wall on which it is located.
For its installation no mounts were used, to avoid damage to stone walls.
It was designed so that the sides are longer and serve as consoles which,
inserted into the existing loopholes, carry the showcase.
Inside the cabinets are thin metal elements used for the organization of the exhibits.
Exhibits, such as postcards and T-shirts, are attached by small magnets.
