Neoclassical White and Gold TV Cabinet
At OE-FASHION Furniture, the integration of technology into classical environments requires precise calibration of scale and utility. The Neoclassical White and Gold TV Cabinet creates a focal point in a luxury living room, effectively concealing modern electronics within a historically referenced serpentine volume.
Aesthetic Structure & Proportions
The unit features a “bombe” or serpentine profile, where the façade swells outward at the centre and recedes at the flanks. This complex geometry is punctuated by four vertical pilasters topped with acanthus leaf capitals, establishing a rhythm that breaks the visual mass of the unit. The use of gold leaf on the mouldings and structural columns aligns with Neoclassical design principles, articulating the load-bearing elements against the white lacquer field.
Construction Logic & Material Behaviour
To achieve the curvature of the drawer fronts and doors without risk of tension-fractures, we utilise a formed multi-ply substrate moulded under high vacuum pressure. This engineered core provides superior dimensional stability compared to solid timber when subjected to the thermal fluctuations of AV equipment.
- Gilding: The ornamentation is applied using traditional water-gilding techniques with 24k gold leaf. This method ensures the metallic finish does not tarnish or delaminate over decades of service.
- Surface Finish: Multiple coats of polyurethane lacquer are applied and hand-polished. This creates a non-porous barrier that resists the heat generated by media components. Learn more about our finishing protocols.
- Hardware: Drawers operate on concealed, heavy-duty soft-close runners (Blum Movento), rated for 40kg to support heavy media collections.
Functional Integration & Ergonomics
The central cabinet is designed to house amplifiers and media players, featuring a ventilated back panel to promote passive airflow and prevent overheating. Cable management channels are routed internally behind the central pilasters, keeping power and signal cords isolated from the storage compartments.
Installation & Project Constraints
The unit is delivered as a single structural entity. Service elevator dimensions must be verified for the reference length (2200mm). For wall-mounted TVs above the unit, we recommend a chase in the wall structure to conceal cabling before cabinet installation.
Bespoke Manufacturing (OEM / ODM)
OE-FASHION Furniture offers full customization for architectural specifications.
- Modular Expansion: Matching vertical display cabinets (vitrines) can be fabricated to create a full-wall entertainment suite.
- Dimensional Adaptation: Height can be adjusted to align with specific window sills or wainscoting levels.
- Finish Control: Gold detailing can be substituted for silver leaf or Champagne gold PVD accents.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the central doors be made infrared-friendly?
A: Yes. We can replace the solid wood central panel with speaker mesh or IR-transparent glass upon request.
Q: Is the gold leaf fragile?
A: The gilding is sealed with a clear protective topcoat, allowing it to be dusted and cleaned with a soft cloth without damage.
Q: What is the load capacity for the top surface?
A: The top is reinforced to support loads up to 120kg, suitable for large-format displays or heavy stone sculptures.
