The design concept came about when, as a student, Thomas Heatherwick spent time experimentally carving wood on a bobbin sander. Using the rigorous geometry of straight lines, this tool is able to create forms with twisted surfaces.

Four of these twisted pieces were combined, forming intriguing doors: when they
are opened halfway, the bottoms of the doors look as if they are nearly open,
while the tops still look almost closed. The Twisted Cabinet is offered in
oiled oak.
