Pohihi
Pohihi is an entry console designed for storage in modern homes. The body is made of stained beech, and the four drawer fronts are made of monkeypod. The drawers are built from solid beech and slide on wooden tracks. Handwoven laced Danish cord forms the cabinet door and a low shelf. The woven door works as both a decorative surface and a handle, as no separate handle is fitted. Magnetic fittings hold the door closed, and the interior includes a shelf. The weaving reflects Arab and Hawaiian cultural traditions.
Pohihi Entry Console by Raja Badr-El-Din has been selected as a grand example of industrial design by the A' Design Award. Pohihi Entry Console was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in Furniture Design in 2020. The A' Furniture Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design prize which recognizes excellent design of chairs, tables, sofas, beds, cabinets, shelves, desks, wardrobes and more.
