BH | Studio Youghal Grid-Panel Media Cabinet

Panelled doors are among the oldest tricks in the cabinetmaker's book. Framing a door around raised and recessed fields began as a way to let wide boards move without splitting, and by the 1960s and 1970s designers were multiplying those fields into bold, geometric grids across sideboards and cabinets.

This low media cabinet has a cupboard at each end, closed by doors that open with a press, both faced in a grid of raised rectangular panels. At the centre is a drawer that runs out fully, and above it an open shelf for a player or console, with an opening for cables so the wiring stays tidy. It suits a television of up to 65 inches, and the top is rated to hold 198 lbs, and it stands on tapered legs with central levelling legs that keep it steady on any floor. The case is engineered wood in a wood-grain finish in Jet or Almond; some assembly is required.

Place it under the television in a family room, with games and remotes in the drawer and books and a plant on top, or set it low beneath a window in a living room as a long console. The grid adds real texture beneath a dark screen; give it a 1970s mood with a tan leather sofa, a globe lamp and a bowl of brass objects.
