Black Labyrinth by ArteNemus is a vertical chest of drawers with 15 drawers. Its dark architectural appearance is brought to life by light marquetry rays with three focal points as their origin. The intriguing conception and mechanism of the drawers complements its understated outline. The wood structure is covered with black dyed ebony veneer while the marquetry is made from flamed maple. The surface is oiled to achieve the satinated finish.

Black Labyrinths outline is inspired by the clean lines of the Bauhaus styles while the outline of the drawers is inspired by Asian medical cabinets.
