Making a custom okoume box

Dive into the world of DIY with this inspiring project by Jean, where the precision of custom wood is combined with a personal touch. Jean shows us how a simple box can be transformed into an elegant and functional piece of furniture.

The design of the box

The heart of this project is a carefully crafted box, the wood of which was pre-cut to measure by TOSIZE.se. Jean chose to integrate it perfectly into an office, taking advantage of the warm look of okoumé and clean lines, making it a wise choice to enhance the workspace and elegantly store supplies.

Assembly and finishing

Particular care has been taken in the assembly of the various okoume pieces. The hinges, installed with precision, guarantee a soft and silent opening, emphasizing the importance of detail in DIY projects. The natural color of the okoume brings a warm touch to the space while remaining modern and refined.

The unique features

This cabinet is not only an example of functionality, but also a personalized work by Jean. The use of 18 mm Okoumé Noétique B/BB plywood for the main structure, combined with 8 mm plywood for the shelves, gives the whole a robustness and finesse that is not found in ready-made furniture.

The advantages of DIY

One of the main advantages of creating this cabinet is the flexibility that comes with custom-made construction. Jean was able to choose the exact dimensions for his cabinet, a freedom rarely possible with pre-made alternatives. In addition, doing a project yourself often represents a significant saving, without compromising quality.

A style that speaks

The minimalist style and functionality of this cabinet fit perfectly into Jean's office. The clean lines and natural finish of the okoume blend with the contemporary aesthetic of the room, offering a result that is as beautiful as it is useful.

Okoume Noutique B/BB 18 mm plywood

The Okoumé Noutique B/BB 18 mm plywood used by Jean for his cabinet is a material appreciated for its durability and resistance to humidity. Its smooth and uniform surface is perfect for creating furniture with an aesthetic and neat finish.

Okoume Noutique B/BB 8 mm plywood

The Okoumé Noutique B/BB 8 mm plywood completes the project by offering a certain lightness while maintaining the strength necessary for functional shelves. This choice of wood contributes to the overall harmony of the work and reinforces its unique character.
