A space to keep cigars was adapted through the design of a perimetral piece fitted to a reduced area.
The unit, made solely of recycled cigar boxes, was designed to form a structure that resembles an embedded box on the upper part of the red brick walls. Stainless steel cables attached to it are tensed to the floor and have various supports to receive templed glass of different sizes and at different angles that serve as shelves to store and display cigar boxes.
A fountain inside the space that uses distilled water, was designed to act as the humidifier to keep the optimum environmental conditions cigars need.
The access to the cigar room is made of a clear crystal door through which the interior space is seen. The door is activated with a movement sensor that eases the entrance and exit always maintaining an adequate humidity for the cigars.
