Ideal for cultural venues and meaningful gifts
Map Cabinet South suits the needs of cultural venues that handle visiting artists or rotating collections of prints and maps. Embassies and organisations often order it as a practical but thoughtful gift for those who value southern journeys, history or cartography. Its balance of utility and presence means it becomes a conversation starter as much as a working piece.

- Heritage office lobbies
Pairs with other atelier forms
This cabinet works well alongside our Karoo Screen, which adds privacy and structure to open-plan studios, and the Studio Bench, which provides seating or extra workspace nearby. The Veld Tray set stacks comfortably atop the glass for sorting new documents before filing. For showrooms or reception areas, pairing with the Baobab Lamp highlights the cabinet’s surface textures and gives the room a grounded atmosphere.

Finishes and essays to match
Best suited to natural, light stains that celebrate the plywood’s grain, Map Cabinet South also takes well to deeper tints if a client wants to echo older map chests. It’s frequently paired with essays and installations devoted to southern journeys, such as ‘Maps that stay flat’ or ‘Southern route notes’. The glass top is ideal for displaying ongoing routes, while the drawers keep archival copies protected and dust-free.
