Kerf is a design company based in Seattle, Wash., that has inspired a contemporary trend in cabinet construction. What gives Kerf\u2019s designs their distinctive look is that they mostly focus on plywood and plastic laminates with exposed joints lap joints and a slightly unfinished look. The shelving often appears modular and comprised of varying sizes of cubby type spaces throughout the unit. The Kerf designs are uniquely inspired by a push for function\u2019s marriage to materials and form.<\/p>\n
Though kerf is an actual company still making original cabinetry designs, their style is being copied by many other manufacturers. The incorporation of Kerf designs usually attempt to present a juxtaposition of refined design against the exposed plywood. The materials are cheap, but a true Kerf design retains an element of refinement that is lacking in many of the knock-off reproductions available from other manufacturers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
