A cabinets and sideboards collection designed for the Italian furniture brand Minotti.

nendo将橱柜设计成由短腿支撑的盒子。在这个系列中，设计最初的构想是一张桌子，为了“填补”桌腿和顶面之间的空隙，才嵌入了储存单元。橱柜腿呈倒置的 V 形，类似于工作台支架或绘画的画架，十分富有亲切感，赋予设计更多亮点。

Storage units are usually designed as boxes with short supporting legs underneath. In this collection, a table was initially designed and as a second step a storage unit was added as if to “fill the gap” between the top surface and its supporting legs. The legs are designed as upside-down V shapes, similar to trestles used under working surfaces or easels used for painting. The shape of the legs enhances their presence in the design and creates a sense of familiarity.

所有款式的橱柜都由抛光金属制成的腿、哑光木材围合的细木工储存单元和石材顶面组成。不同的材料使构件能够自然而然地区别开，使每一部分都引人注目。

All units combine polished metal for the legs, matte wood for the joinery and a stone surface as a tabletop. The use of different materials creates a natural separation between the three components and allow all three to be equally visible.

Wedge系列

设计师将垂直圆柱竖向分为两半，便构成了Wedge系列的桌腿。从一侧看上去，经过干脆切割的桌腿呈平坦的表面，而从另一侧看，桌腿则显示出柔软丰满的弧线。此外，每条桌腿的落地点都以30度角进行切割，最大限度地减少了与地板的接触面积，与桌腿的稳重形成鲜明对比，营造出轻盈感。

A collection of tables designed with legs that are made of thick cylinder shapes split vertically in half. Due to the sharp cut of the legs, when a table is viewed from one side, the legs appear as flat surfaces, however when viewed from the other side, the legs reveal their soft and plump forms. In addition, each leg’s curvy side is cut in a 30 degrees diagonal that minimises the contact area with the floor and creates a sense of lightness that contrasts the heaviness of the legs.

该系列有餐桌和矮边桌，共包含三种圆形、三种矩形和两种圆角餐桌，以及方形、矩形和圆形的矮边桌。对于矩形桌面，桌腿的直边与桌面平行，形成了锐利且棱角分明的外观。而对于圆形桌面，桌腿则对应形成环绕布局，三边夹角呈 120 度，强化了桌子的柔和特质。矮桌和圆角餐桌的桌腿不规则地布置，为外观增添了一丝活泼动感。

The collection consists of both dining tables and low side tables. The dining tables are designed in three round, three rectangular and two soft rectangular types and the low tables are designed in a square, rectangular and circular configurations. With a rectangular tabletop, two legs are placed in a parallel position to create a sharp and angular look. When the tabletop is round, three legs are placed together in a circular layout maintaining a 120 degrees relation, to enhance the softer qualities of the table. The legs of the low tables and the soft rectangular shaped dining tables are placed sporadically to allow for a more playful and dynamic appearance.

设计将相同形状的桌腿与多种形状的桌面相结合，满足了不同场合的使用需求，使该系列的桌子们既整齐统一，又独具个性。

By suggesting multiple options of tables utilizing the same shape of legs, the collection becomes unified while at the same time each table holds its own individual uniqueness.
