A Vertical System for Sound
The Somnium Cabinet is a commissioned, vertical system designed to support keyboards, sound, and the evolving tools of a working studio. Rather than spreading outward, Somnium builds upward — creating a focused environment where instruments and systems live together with intention.
It brings order to complex setups while maintaining a sense of immersion. A place to enter the work, not simply store it.
Designed Around the Act of Playing
At its core, Somnium is shaped around interaction.
Primary keyboard placement is carefully considered, with configurations that position the instrument at the height of a concert grand piano — allowing the hands to fall naturally and the body to settle into the work. Surrounding shelves support additional keyboards, sound sources, and tools, keeping everything close without crowding the space.
Integrated rack sections and utility drawers provide room for processing, routing, and the details that support long sessions.
Configured for the Work
Somnium is a system, not a fixed layout.
Shown here are multiple built configurations — each shaped by different instruments, workflows, and studio needs. Some emphasize performance and keyboards, others prioritize storage, routing, or hybrid setups. All share the same vertical logic, proportions, and material language.
No two are identical. Each is designed to fit the work it supports.
Structure, Movement, and Use
Built from hand-selected, grain-matched solid wood, the Somnium Cabinet balances visual weight with openness. Its stepped geometry creates rhythm and depth, while integrated cable paths keep systems coherent and calm.
Casters allow the cabinet to move easily within a studio, adapting as setups evolve — mobile when needed, grounded when in use. Subtle integrated lighting brings warmth to the interior, supporting focus without pulling attention.
Form, Material, and Time
Somnium is built for longevity.
Every shelf, surface, and proportion is shaped for repeated use. Materials are chosen to age naturally, carrying the marks of time alongside the music made within the system.
The Somnium Cabinet is not storage.
It is an environment — a vertical framework for sustained creative work.
