Miniature mid-century oak cabinet

This 1:12 scale model of a mid-century cabinet is based on the RY-20 designed by Hans Wegner in 1953. The original piece was made in darker oak, but Fernando Setién decided to work with sapwood, the youngest and whitest part of the wood (oak in this case) which also has an obvious and powerful grain pattern. Fernando wanted to give this piece a unique look. In this sense, the material becomes the main decorative element of the piece.
