Overview

Kabooooooooom!

The 'Explosion' cabinet sits quietly. A clean-lined maple credenza with glass side panels, almost meditative in its stillness. But give it a gentle push, and the entire piece erupts outward in a controlled, geometric boom. Slats of wood glide along hidden rails, extending in all directions like a digital glitch rendered in timber. It’s the kind of transformation that makes you pause mid-conversation and just watch.

Errazuriz aim is to challenge perceptions of everyday objects, encouraging viewers to see the familiar in new and unexpected ways.

In every way, this wins.
