Hanging cupboard with Lapis Lazuli by Pierre De Valck

About the item
This sculptural wall cabinet by Pierre De Valck combines a distinctive crescent shape with patinated bronze and an exceptional fragment of Lapis Lazuli. Behind the two hinged doors are four compartments. Functional as a cabinet, but above all a powerful work of art on the wall.

About design and history
Centrally located between the doors is a raw Lapis Lazuli, estimated to be approximately 65 million years old and originating from the historic Sar e Sang mines in Badakhshan, Afghanistan. De Valck aptly calls his approach “Modern Antiquities,” in which centuries-old geological materials find a place in contemporary collectible design.

About the designer and maker
Belgian designer Pierre De Valck creates handmade furniture in which rare stones and minerals are deliberately preserved in their raw state. His work is manufactured entirely in Belgium and lies at the intersection of furniture, sculpture, and natural history object.

About fitness
The cabinet is in exceptionally good condition . The patinated bronze and the rough Lapis Lazuli together enhance the unique, almost archaeological character of the design.
