Collections · The Swing system

Swing Bookcase, a room for collections.

Walnut display modules with fluted sliding shutters, glass doors and backlit panels. SCIC describes Swing as furniture first: it can pass for a living room, a study or a collector’s room, perhaps storing whisky and cigars.

R&D SCIC with Ser-John & Co

The kitchen’s engineering, without the appliances.

Swing began as an SCIC kitchen system. As a bookcase and bar it keeps the same modules, joinery and lighting, and the wall reads as continuous walnut boiserie rather than a row of cabinets.

Shallow display depths sit beside standard storage depths, so books, bottles, glassware and closed storage can share one composition.

Display depth: Modules 130 or 180 mm deep, for bottles, glasses and collections, alongside standard 350 and 600 mm depths
Surface: Vertical grooves hide the joints between doors, so the wall reads as continuous boiserie
Handles: Full height, in solid walnut, built into the door
Back panels: Applied or backlit, with lighting along each shelf
Shutters: Sliding, with magnetic fixing; add or rearrange them later

The shutters move by hand.

The fluted shutters slide and hold with magnetic fixing, so one hand changes what the wall shows. Slide one across glass to close a shelf, or across a backlit panel to change the light. The composition can be rearranged later without new cabinetry.
