The free cabinet | ARTEMPO

€0.00

The Free Cabinet by ARTEMPO is a sculptural furniture piece that reinterprets architectural principles through the language of collectible design. Its exterior cladding exists independently from the internal structural frame, allowing the vertical planes that define the object to be arranged with relative autonomy—an embodiment of the architectural concept of the “free plan.”

Rather than treating division as a technical exercise, the cabinet approaches spatial composition as an artistic gesture. The rhythmic sequencing of planes creates a dynamic interplay of depth, shadow and color, giving the piece a graphic presence reminiscent of modernist abstraction.

Crafted with precision and a deep sensitivity to materiality, The Free Cabinet functions as both a highly refined storage piece and a sculptural statement. Ideal for interiors that value architectural rigor, collectible design and bold contemporary character.

About the brand

ARTEMPO

Chris Tang is a talented product designer whose passion for home furnishings was sparked at an early age, inspired by his father, who founded a furniture studio over 20 years ago. Growing up surrounded by creative ideas and innovative approaches to furniture and product design, Chris developed a deep appreciation for the field.

Later, he pursued his studies in architecture at the University of the Arts London, where he immersed himself in a multicultural environment that shaped his unique approach to design. His creative journey reflects the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures, combining the structured, conceptual learning from the West with the refined Eastern aesthetic, a hallmark of his work at Artempo.

Artempo itself embodies this vision, representing the "art of time" — a reflection on how pure art can become overshadowed by accumulated objects over time. Artempo seeks to reclaim eternal objects within space and time, capturing the essence of pausing external expansion and focusing on introspection.

Chris's works are deeply rooted in the beauty of the Orient and the legacy of time, carrying forward the lacquer craftsmanship tradition that has been passed down through his family for over two decades. Each piece conveys an oriental temperament infused with a western expression, highlighting the harmonious coexistence of these cultural influences.
