Millennium Canteen

Andrew Skelton - Canteen case

General view
Detail

The case is designed to both store and provide a means of displaying the canteen. The curved trays (which can be removed and mounted for display) are strung with fishing-line and the cutlery is held by weaving it in and out. The cabinet uses colour to identify the various functions of the elements and texture to emphasise the nature of the different materials.

Materials: oak, sycamore, stainless-steel and fishing-line; the curved construction is laminated from 1.5mm aircraft ply and dyed oak and sycamore veneers.
