The Hologram Cabinet provides an alternative to computers and mobile phones as portholes into the digital world; exploring how a piece of furniture can give form and value to the infinite collection of meta-data that exists online.
As well as collecting data from London, the Hologram Cabinet is made with hardwoods sourced from across London. Reclaimed parquet flooring in mahogany, maple and teak have been inlayed with natural marmoleum in fractured patterns that resonates with the data graphics streamed from the V&A.
The cabinet was made in collaboration with Keiichi Matsuda, Commissioned by Veuve Clicquot for Andaz Hotel Liverpool Stret.
