The Ark Cabinet is a study in fluid dynamics and rare timber. Designed by Peter Fossick, this bowed-front masterpiece marries the shimmer of Quilted Maple with the sweep of hand-formed steel, creating a silhouette that feels less like static furniture and more like a vessel caught in a gentle current.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Architecture of Curves\u003c\/b\u003e While the Vienna Cabinet is geometric, The Ark is organic. True to its name, the cabinet mimics the hull of a vessel, featuring a complex bowed front that curves gently outward into the room. This \"bombe\" shape requires master-level veneering skills to execute, softening the hard lines of a space and inviting the hand to follow its contours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Surface of Light\u003c\/b\u003e The facade is a canvas of \"Exhibition Grade\" \u003cb\u003eQuilted Maple\u003c\/b\u003e, a rare timber chosen for its deep, bubble-like grain structure that possesses a natural chatoyancy. The wood appears to ripple like water as the viewing angle changes. These vibrant panels are framed in pale solid Sycamore, creating a crisp, skeletal border that defines and contains the cabinet's sensuous volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Continuous Line\u003c\/b\u003e Conventional hardware interrupts a design; Fossick’s hardware defines it. The bespoke, satin-finished steel handles are hand-formed to bridge the gap between the doors and drawers. They flow across the centerline like a calligraphy stroke or a bird in flight, visually tying the left and right hemispheres of the cabinet together in a seamless union.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFunctional Art\u003c\/b\u003e Resting on swept, tapered legs that seemingly dance on tiptoes, The Ark offers substantial storage without visual bulk. Two deep drawers sit atop a spacious double-door cupboard, making it an ideal sideboard for a dining room or a statement console for a grand hallway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaker:\u003c\/b\u003e Designed and crafted by Peter Fossick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePrimary Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Highly Figured Quilted Maple Veneer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFraming:\u003c\/b\u003e Solid Sycamore border detailing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware:\u003c\/b\u003e Custom hand-formed satin steel handles that bridge the cabinet face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDesign:\u003c\/b\u003e Organic \"Bombe\" or Bow-Front silhouette with swept legs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eStorage:\u003c\/b\u003e Two upper drawers and a double-door lower cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,6,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e Clear hand-rubbed lacquer to maximize the depth of the grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy We Love It \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"It’s the handles for us. The way they 'jump' across the gap between the doors is such a clever, modern touch on a classic shape. It turns the hardware into a graphical element rather than just a functional necessity. The wood selection is also breathtaking—it truly looks like a topographic map or the surface of a lake.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atelier Fossick","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51903592595803,"sku":null,"price":18500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0853\/0903\/0747\/files\/Ark_walnut.png?v=1765807874","url":"https:\/\/atelierfossick.com\/products\/the-ark-cabinet","provider":"Atelier Fossick","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
