Tinted Glass Buffets and Cabinets Designed by Werner Aisslinger

Werner Aisslinger delights in making use of the latest technologies and has helped to introduce new materials and techniques to the world of product design. His work is exhibited in the permanent collections of international museums such as the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the French Fonds National d´Art Contemporain in Paris, the Museum Neue Sammlung in Munich, and the Vitra Design Museum in Weil, Germany.

Today we will present to you a very special collection created by this brilliant product designer: a collection of beautiful tinted glass buffets and cabinets.

The German designer launched a tinted-glass storage system that can be easily adapted to suit different rooms.

Aisslinger designed the collection for a German brand called Piure, a furniture company that allows buyers to customize the products online.

The idea behind this project was to create an open frame for a collection of sideboards and cabinets that can then be produced in different sizes and materials on an industrial scale.

The structure of these sideboards and cabinets is always the same: a thin metal frame made of aluminium segments. The it has large panels of semi-transparent materials, including the tinted glass.

“You have to design the furniture in a way that it can be adjusted to clients as the customer wishes,” explains Aisslinger, “but you have to design it in a way that the object or system is easy to assemble.”

“Most storage furniture is made of pieces of wood, like they are boxes made of boards,” he continues. “The idea is to get rid of the boards of wood or whatever it is and to try and produce open structures, which can be filled with different materials”.
