This media console blends minimalist design with kumiko latticework. The lower section was designed to keep digital equipment out of sight while still allowing airflow. The playful drawers help break up the symmetry of the design, while adding functional storage. Paul said he was inspired by a kumiko dresser (by user name “hzenno”) that he saw in the gallery on FineWoodworking.com.
