Typology:
Storage Furniture
Designer:
Pagnon & PelhaƮtre
Et cetera is a vertically-constructed
programme (assemblies of side
panels, shelves, back panels and
fronts). Basically a range of shelving,
it is further enriched by the additional
functions of an occasional unit:
storage (opaque or glass doors,
shelves, drawers), audiovisual
equipment and lighting.
The name Et cetera evokes its
dimensional possibilities: one can
always add to its height (the highest
standard side panel is 2676 mm,
which can be extended by an
additional 3 metres by adding extra
panels) or width, with the possibility of
tailoring it perfectly to your particular
space (cut down).
Et cetera's elegance stems from
rigorous aesthetic choices, as much
in terms of its volumes as its finishes:
- Readability of compositions
facilitated by the subtle use of a
network of single modules of 175 mm.
- Lightness of the overall structure
thanks to the chosen thickness of 30
mm for side panels and shelves, the
perfect compromise between the
necessary reassuring thickness and
the desired visual lightness.
- Single overall depth of 382 mm.
Made possible by the reduction in
depth of audiovisual equipment, this
makes it possible to create items
which fit more easily into the required
space since they are shallower and
'flat' in terms of surface.
- Slimness of the grooved hinged
doors (also the pull-up and flap
doors): their minimal thickness
(around 6 mm) overlaps the edges of
the structure. Their elegant
minimalism is reinforced by their
handle-free, 'push to open' operation.
- Originality of the storage surfaces
for open niches: offered in a range of
widths, their at once playful and
functional appearance creates an
interesting graphic emphasis with a
play on linear repetition.
- Lightness accentuated by the
choice of finishes: the structure of Et
cetera is always in satin lacquer
(white or argile). Fronts are either
lacquered or enriched with veneer,
the chosen species of which, sawneffect
oak, is offered in natural,
anthracite or black.
A special shelving unit is also
available which, being double-sided
(unlike the rest of the items in the
range, which are all single-sided)
may be used as a room divider. This
shelving unit is available in size 10M
12T (centre to centre distance H
1750 W 2100; actual dimensions H
1800 W 2130) and offers 5 levels of
storage with either U-shaped
lacquered niches or blocks of chests
finished in smooth oak veneer.
In the case of the sideboard, the
structures and fronts are priced
separately to make it possible to mix
all the finishes on offer. That said, the
following combinations are
recommended: interior of structure in
white lacquer/fronts in natural sawn
oak or interior of structure in argile
lacquer with black lacquered
top/fronts in anthracite-stained sawn
oak.
As a complement to the existing
lacquer finishes (white, argile,
elephant), certain elements of this
range are also available in the
following 13 lacquer colours: rouge,
brique, bleu, plomb, azur, bleu
lavande, chocolat, moutarde, mastic,
ranger, noir, perle, bleu nuit.
