Stairs Cupboard
Angles aligned until the cabinet seems to shift as you pass — storage that refuses to sit still.
Alain van Havre's Stairs Cupboard for Ethnicraft is built in Serbia from brown-stained solid oak with a varnish finish. Two push-open doors conceal adjustable interior shelves inside the collection's angular, volume-playing composition.

Common Questions
How do the Stairs Cupboard doors open?
By push-open mechanism — press and release — so the angular facade stays clean of handles and hardware.
Is the interior adjustable?
Yes — the shelves reposition to fit dishes, files, linens, or bar storage as the cupboard's role changes over the years.
Why does the surface catch light unevenly?
That is the design — the aligned angled facets reflect light differently across the front, creating the collection's signature sense of movement.
