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.
