The Twin Buffet is a modular storage piece by Wendy Andreu, consisting of two identical aluminium shelving units placed side by side.
Each unit is built on a grid system: horizontal shelves and vertical dividers intersect to create multiple open cubbies of consistent depth. The panels have notched edges that slot into one another, assembling into a stable form without external fasteners. The light grey metal surface is monochromatic, clean, and deliberate; at this scale the material carries a quiet authority.
The aluminium is fabricated to hold precise proportions. Two units together form a coherent buffet-length composition, but each can stand independently. This modularity reflects a wider system logic that runs through the Inside Out collection, where construction method and visual form are inseparable: the joint is never hidden, and the grid is the composition.
The Twin Buffet is part of Inside Out, Wendy Andreu's collection that takes the internal structure of furniture as its primary aesthetic proposition. It joins the Double Pyramid in exploring how interlocking aluminium components can achieve stability and presence without conventional joinery.

About
Wendy Andreu
Wendy Andreu is a craft designer who aims to communicate through the materials she is using. By experimenting with them, she finds surprising outcomes that can be translated into functional design proposals. She is able to execute any idea that comes to her mind in order to check the potential of it. She likes to think of the bridges between matter, people and space in an open way. In her research, the context has as much importance as the concept, without forgetting the quality of the making and the aesthetic of the pieces.
Wendy Andreu won the Public Prize of the Accessory competition at the Villa Noailles in Hyères (2017) and won the Dorothy Waxman Textile Prize in New-York City (2017). In 2018, she got a grant from the Stimulerings Fund (NL) in order to develop her project Regen. In 2020, she was one of the Rising Talent France during Maison et Objet January edition. She is part of AD 100 France 2024.
She is currently working in Paris XIX where she is developing experimental work as well as commissioned projects for public and private clients.
