SHOW THE BEAUTY OF MECHANICS

A cupboard’s hangings and locks are usually concealed as much as possible. But Paul Heijnen believes that hinges, locks, and sliding mechanisms should be visible. Fascinated with the aesthetics of the mechanical, he has designed a storage cupboard whose mechanical parts are visibly mounted on the outside. The cupboard’s framework determines the design. Industrial Constructions looks as if it were a part of the machine park from an old factory building; it is industrial design in the literal sense of the word.
