Are you a fan of the glass cabinet? I’ve always loved them; they’re the one storage piece that will allow you to store and display your favourite things while keeping them dust free (anything that saves a little cleaning and I’m in, how about you?). I’ve had my eye on the Skovby  #452 display cabinet for a while. It’s part of their #400 sideboard line which also includes 3 sideboards: #402, #404, and #405. As you know, I’ve been a fan of the Danish furniture brand ever since I acquired a desk and chair for Per’s home office (he’s back at school now so I’ve crept in and taken over the space!). And now, I’m excited to have picked up a #452 glass cabinet for our open-plan living space!  

In 1933, cabinet maker Thorvald Rasmussen founded Skovby with a vision to create sustainable and functional furniture that would stand the test of time. And I have to say, this fine specimen truly encompasses this vision! Here it is filled with some of my most treasured pieces (as well as some practical bits and bobs for our dining room / creative corner!)…

The cabinet is available in several wood sorts and finishes. I chose the Black wengé lacquer version, as I felt it would make a nice contrast with my delicate glassware, ceramics, books, linen and other pieces I intended to store within it. 

We all know that when it comes to furniture, it’s not all about appearance – although, naturally this is top of my list! Per in particular, was so happy with how practical the cabinet is. It’s made according to the ‘Golden Proportion’ and has two soft closing glass doors, four glass shelves and two LED lights! The latter is going to come in handy when the light starts to fade and dare I say it – the clocks go forward (baaah!). Soooo not ready for that, are you?

Another nice detail: you can choose to stand it on a plinth or legs depending on the look you’re after. I love the airy feel of the legs! 

I hope you like the latest addition to our home as much as we do! 

You can find out more information (including measurements, available finishes etc.) on the Skovby #452 display cabinet home page. The 100% Danish made cabinet is available in 19 countries worldwide (search for your nearest stockist here). 

Danish design at its finest! 

See you tomorrow for a very exciting home tour which might just include some armchair travel!

In the meantime, if anyone’s looking for me, I’ll be dipping into one of my books right here and preparing for my visit to Copenhagen tomorrow for 3 Days of Design. I haven’t been to the Danish capital since February – so excited!
