BOW CHEST
Private Residence · New York · 2025

fiddleback maple · sapele · brass · suede‍ ‍|‍ 58 x 12 x 18 in.

Designed for a professional violinist, the BOW CHEST is a storage piece for sheet music. Its design draws from the way string instruments balance expressive wood with structural restraint.

A naturally bowed fiddleback maple lid is crossed by a thin sapele band, while a solid brass rod spans its concave curve like a string stretched between the ends of a bow. Wrapped in dark suede, the curved exterior remains visually quiet. Inside, angled dividers organize sheet music, while removable maple and sapele platforms support open scores during practice.
