Bar Cabinet ORION

Orion is an exclusive, fully handcrafted bar cabinet born from a remarkable collaboration between KANTTARI and renowned Latvian glass artist Artis Nimanis. Inspired by celestial geometry and precision craftsmanship, Orion elevates the concept of a home bar into a sculptural, experiential object that celebrates the art of entertaining.



The cabinet’s exterior is crafted from brushed aluminium in a refined silver-toned finish, giving it a sleek, architectural presence. Its signature feature—an art glass door handle created by Artis Nimanis—adds a luminous, jewel-like accent that transforms functional hardware into a work of art. The faceted silhouette and cool metallic sheen evoke a fragment of cosmic architecture, echoing the rhythmic structure of the Orion constellation.



Inside, the cabinet reveals a meticulously organized world designed for the modern collector and cocktail enthusiast. The interior is finished with illuminated marble, creating a soft, atmospheric glow that highlights the cabinet’s functional luxury. The doors feature elegant glass holders, while the interior includes dedicated drawers for mixology accessories, a handcrafted oyster-display glass plate, and tools for opening and serving oysters — a touch of refined indulgence.



Two integrated wine-cooler drawers ensure perfect storage conditions for white wine and champagne, while additional storage drawers provide room for spirits and hosting essentials. Each drawer is meticulously lined with genuine ostrich leather, including the drawer handles, adding a tactile richness and an unmistakable sense of exclusivity.



Every detail of Orion is made entirely by hand in Latvia — from the brushed metal body to the custom glass elements, leather-lined interior, and precision-engineered components. This unique cooperation project showcases the synergy of contemporary design, master-level craftsmanship, and artisanal glassmaking.



Orion deserves recognition for its fusion of art and engineering, its uncompromising materiality, and its evocative user experience. It is more than a bar cabinet — it is a collectible, bespoke object that transforms hosting into a ritual, balancing sculptural presence with exceptional functionality. In the realm of contemporary luxury furniture, Orion stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and the beauty of handcrafted design.
