Pluto Buffet - Porcelain

The Pluto Buffet in Porcelain is 200cm of ash veneer and MDF under a PU sealer, on circular legs. Four doors open onto two compartments, each with one fixed shelf. It arrives assembled.

Two compartments across 200cm means wide openings rather than many small ones. That suits storing things that are long or awkward, platters, trays, a runner still on its roll, and suits it much better than a buffet divided into three or four narrow bays would.

The circular legs are the piece's signature and they do more than decorate. Lifting a 200cm case clear of the floor on visible round legs stops it reading as a built-in block, and the curve of the leg answers the rounded silhouette of the case above it. Porcelain is a pale finish, so it lightens what is otherwise a substantial piece of furniture, at the cost of showing scuffs at foot level more readily than a dark one would.
