Free Port, a modular cabinet piece by Spanish designer Martí Guixé, is not your typical storage furniture.
Guixé combines style and function in this multifunctional piece, featuring a series of cubed containers, ranging from a 16-pigeonhole unit to a spacious open cabinet with four shelves.
While the exterior of the piece is a uniform glossy white lacquer throughout, each cube module features a different type of synthetic wood, from dark mahogany to bright pine.
Each cube rests on aluminium legs, and steel tubes made in a glossy chocolate brown.
The modules can be rearranged to suit the owner’s needs, and in this way the piece can be adapted to any room of the house.
The design lab, Barcelona’s ‘BD’, writes:
“It is multifunctional. Perfect for being the centre of a party, [it] can also work as an island piece… they have dynamic both in their volume and in their position and finish.”
Being the “centre of a party” is certainly something Free Port would do well.
The unique modular arrangements suggested by Guixé and BD involve suspending cubes in mid-air, connected to the remaining cabinets by only a corner, and arranging the smaller cabinets in a manner reminiscent of a staircase.
Free Port is manufactured in four different sizes, A1, A2, B and C, featuring different varieties of cube modules to suit.
Guixé, who joined BD in 1997, released Free Port to the worldwide market in 2011.
