Facet is a wall - mounted cabinet which is intended to use to store things. It can be transformed as a desk or a dresser once the flap door is opened down. Facet, which means a cut surface of a mineral such as diamond, has a cubic shape with formative aesthetic object by making it into a traditional production method. The design feature is that geometric spaces are expanded by opening doors that are consistent but of different shapes. Designer Kunsik creates Facet as he was invited to take the Swedish cabinet making journeyman exam(Gesäll) in 2015. This cabinet, consisting of about 600 pieces of wood(pear, maple, wenge) and brass hardware, took five months to create. Facet enriched the craftsmanship of Nordic traditional furniture that Kunsik learned from Swedish master cabinet makers for three years.
