Crescendo cabinet
Article Abstract:
The Crescendo cabinet designed by Stanford University student Andrew R. Hope under the guidance of Professor Matt Kahn won a gold award in the furniture category of the 1992 I.D. Annual Design Review. Designed to accomodate the various components of a home audio system, the Crescendo is made of birch and ash wood combined with cut, welded and bead-blasted steel. The narrow metal base supported by a rectangular grid, the backward curve of the spine and the flaring of the cabinet width towards the top were described as smart and graceful.
