THE CONCEPT : although it might be evocative of certain metal modular systems from the office world, Dita clearly distances itself from these in a number of ways: its lacquered panels are in wood panels rather than sheet metal; its discreet profiles with a sophisticated finish are perfectly placed, cast and not part of the structure; a matching handle which is light and beautifully designed; and its small, slim feet which continue the line of the structure in a very natural way. QUALITY OF MANUFACTURE & FINISHES: Profiles are in 1/2” x 1/2” (15 x 15 mm) anodized aluminum in a brushed bronze finish. All chests have interiors finished in argile lacquer. There are 16 exterior color options: – (satin) white, argile and perle (standard), – brique, bleu lavande, chocolat, moutarde, elephant, ranger, noir, bleu nuit, brun acajou, bleu gentiane, cuivre, gris platine (lacquer pack of colors). All items are single-sided (back panels and edges in argile lacquer). A finished back panel (color of choice) is available for select items; allowing these chests to float in a room. Handles are in injected zamak, lacquered bronze to match the profiles. Hinges are black. The feet H 1 1/4” – 30 mm continue the line of the profiles and incorporate a black jack. The new shelving unit, at H 74 1/2” – 189 cm the same height as the storage column, has shelves in a choice of 17 finishes: grey smoked glass, satin white/argile/perle lacquer, plus the 13 ‘to-order’ lacquer colors (brique, bleu lavande, chocolat, moutarde, elephant, ranger, noir, bleu nuit, brun acajou, bleu gentiane, cuivre, gris platine). The 4-drawer chest is composed of 3 identical drawers topped with a narrower upper drawer. The 6-drawer chest is composed of 5 identical drawers topped with a nattower upper drawer. The bench/TV unit is available in 2 versions, either with a cushion or with a lacquered top. It comprises 2 flap doors with 2 lower glass shelves (could be used as hallway storage). The cushion in high resilience polyurethane Bultex foam 53 kg/m3 – 6.3 kPa is covered in Steelcut trio 3 (choice of 53 colors).
