Description by Dirk-Jan

A bookcase containing the piano over a large part of the longest wall in the living room. Most of the wood from opmaatzagen.nl, a little from the hardware store and two profile frames from a sawmill.

How I made this project

Started making sketches in which the idea of a Placing the bookcase and the piano in one cupboard would create a beautiful and usable cupboard (for us). With room for the sound system and LPs. Furthermore, we wanted clean lines, where everything fit well. After the sketch this was converted into working drawings. Then ordered the wood in two batches from opmaatzagen.nl. First made the frame. Then the planks were put in. A milled profile strip placed at the top and bottom. We colored the cabinet white with Osmo oil stain (snow white).
