Pixel is a cabinet that appears to be wrapped in a veneer of tropical hardwood, but upon closer inspection, the reality of the veneer as a digital manipulation becomes apparent. It is a subtle critique of the fetishization of tropical hardwoods in furniture. The notion of the pixel itself is an artifact of computer graphics and their evolution. This piece is wrapped in an intellectual sheath that makes it desirable on a cultural level- that it is aesthetically pleasing adds to its effectiveness.
