The story

For the glasses, the pottery and the books worth keeping in view.

Some things deserve a place where they can be seen but stay out of the dust: the good glasses, a few pieces of pottery, the books you return to. The Sorbier gives them that place behind two tall doors of clear glass, on three shelves that rise into a full round arch, with two drawers at the bottom for napkins, candles and whatever else should stay out of sight.

Its shape is simple and sure. The top curves over from side to side, the door frames follow the arch, and one wooden cross rail on each door lines up with the middle shelf. Below, shaped side frames turn down into four splayed, tapered legs, a mid-century touch that lifts the tall case off the floor and keeps it light against the wall.

The design

Three details behind the Sorbier.

The Sorbier is a tall glass-fronted cabinet under a round arch. Three details give it its character.

One Black Pull, Warm Wood Frames

One Black Pull, Warm Wood Frames

A single slim matte black metal pull stands at the centre where the two glass doors meet. Around it the warm brown frames show a fine grain with a faint lighter fleck, and a cross rail runs level with the middle shelf.

An Arch in Glass and Wood

An Arch in Glass and Wood

The case rises into a full round arch, and the two door frames follow it. Behind the clear tempered glass are three shelves, and at the bottom two full-width drawers with small round wooden knobs.

For the Dining or Living Room

At 37.5 inches wide and only 16 inches deep, it fits a narrow wall beside a dining table or a sofa, with glasses, ceramics and books behind the glass and napkins or candles in the drawers below.

Will it fit?

Width 37.5″ 95 cm
Depth 16″ 41 cm
Height 78.7″ 200 cm

Planning tip. The Sorbier is 37.5" W x 16" D x 78.7" H (95 x 41 x 200 cm). Plan on a stretch of wall at least 44" (112 cm) wide so it has a little space on each side, and leave about 30" (76 cm) clear in front so the doors swing open and the drawers pull out easily. At 78.7" (200 cm) tall it leaves about 17" (43 cm) under an 8 ft (244 cm) ceiling; anchor it to the wall. Its box measures 78" x 39.5" x 19" (198 x 100 x 48 cm) and weighs 231.5 lb (105 kg), so plan on two people.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

What is it made of?

Acacia veneer over MDF, plywood and LVL, with rubberwood, in a warm brown finish. The two doors are clear tempered glass in wood frames, and the back is unfinished plywood, so it is meant to stand against a wall.

What is inside?

Three shelves and two drawers. The middle shelf adjusts and lifts out; the shelf at the arch and the lower shelf are fixed. The two full-width drawers sit at the bottom behind the doors, with small round wooden knobs and safety stops.

How big is it?

It is 37.5" (95 cm) wide, 16" (41 cm) deep and 78.7" (200 cm) high, and it weighs 198 lb (89.8 kg).

Does it need assembly?

Yes, some assembly is required, and the legs are removable. It arrives in one box measuring 78" x 39.5" x 19" (198 x 100 x 48 cm) and weighing 231.5 lb (105 kg).
