CASABLANCA CABINET

Ettore Sottsass
1981

DESIGNER Ettore Sottsass
YEAR 1981
TYPE Cabinet / room divider
MODEL Casablanca
MATERIAL Wood, decorative laminate
MANUFACTURER Memphis Milano

Casablanca combines storage functions with an expressive, almost totemic composition of cabinets and projecting shelves.

Its strongly colored surfaces and decorative laminates transform the cabinet into a visual presence capable of organizing and dividing the surrounding space.

Like Carlton, Casablanca deliberately challenges functionalist conventions, treating ornament and symbolic form as fundamental components of the design rather than secondary decoration.
