The Collectors Cabinet's closed form begs to be rotated open to unlock its mysteries which may chronicle an unforgettable journey or archive family jewelry. Its carved inner wall grants a special reward upon opening. Its hull shape evokes that of travel and adventure, or appears as a bio-mimic pod of precious findings. Such types of heirloom objects should only be held in such a curious cabinet.
The coopered staves of quarter-sawn ash softly facet to wrap around its floating shelves, which mount on a slatted backing. All of the staves and backing are attached and breath as one, so its body is made as if carved out of a single piece of ash. A careful ball catch detents the rotating door to register it directly in the center, or to one side.
