Cabinets (10) are formed by a frame (60) enclosing shelves. The frame (60) has a plurality of openings in the front face (70, 71) of the cabinetry to allow access to the contents of the cabinets (10). The openings are covered by doors (21, 22, 31, 32, 41, 42, 51, 52) connected to the frame by hinges. Art work covers the doors (21, 22, 31, 32, 41, 42, 51, 52) and frames (60) of the cabinets (10) and is arranged so that the art work is not distorted or interrupted by the division of the cabinetry front between the doors (21, 22, 31, 32, 41, 42, 51, 52) and frame (60). The artwork extends across the door (21, 22, 31, 32, 41, 42, 51, 52) onto the frame (60) in such a manner as to give the impression that it is a single piece of art. When viewed from a distance, the viewer sees the complete work of art even though the doors (21, 22, 31, 32, 41, 42, 51, 52) are operable.
A cabinet comprising a frame defining an enclosure, openings in the front of said frame for providing access to said enclosure, means for accessing the interior of the cabinet attached to said frame operable to cover said openings and comprising at least two pairs of adjacent closures which, when closed, present visually perceived edge lines of said closures, and a continuous design upon and extending across said pairs of adjacent closures such that said design has the effect of reducing the effect of the perceived edge lines.
