Hatch is a cabinet inspired by architecture and the aesthetics of raw building materials. It samples standard shapes, textures and patterns combining those in a multi-functional storage unit that plays with scale and context.
The concept evolved out of fascination for construction materials and the way they can be assembled and combined. Materials that are normally not considered beautiful and often hidden behind finishing layers are the protagonists of this storage unit. Bringing these elements into an intimate living environment shifts the perspective and reveals their inherent beauty. Hatch is a perfect embodiment of the design approach of Sampling – it is a collage that decontextualises elements of our material environment and assigns them new values and meanings by bringing them together in an unexpected way.
