Newcomb Cabinets exemplify the complex structures that can be built in
the manner of de Stijl. These cabinets are constructed from 16 posts, 70
cross-bars, and 12 torsion beams finished in 1 1/4" squares of solid rock maple. The
parts are joined at right angles with bronze capnuts and stainless steel rods. The surface
is 39" above the floor for tall cooks. 30" is "child height" or may be
hung in homes with high ceilings. Two free-standing frames are connected to form the
"L" shape: the wall unit is 10' and peninsula is 6' long.
The doors, drawers, and shelves all may be removed – the entire frame may be
taken apart, shipped to a new location and reassembled (as shown in the right panel).
Measure-to-order lengths, and five different heights: 18" 24"
30" 36" and 42". The 18" and 24" are
to be hung for upper cabinets.
