Simcoe House Reeded Glass Oak Cabinets
A pair of eight-foot-tall cabinets designed for a Victorian home in Hamilton with soaring 10’ ceilings.
Crafted in white oak with a blackened finish, each cabinet combines reeded glass, softened curves, and carefully considered proportions to create a quiet architectural presence within the room.

Crafted in a black-out finish on white oak, every edge is gently rounded, allowing the side gables to flow seamlessly into the front doors. The crown follows the same curved profile with a subtle lip, while the base mirrors this language through an arch that carries the form downward, creating continuity from top to foot.
See how convex reeded glass doors give this stoic 8’ oak cabinet an ethereal glow and dynamic presence.
The doors feature 1/8” narrow convex reeded glass, breaking up the vertical volume while introducing lightness and visual rhythm. Unlike flat glass, the scalloped grooves catch and diffuse light, allowing the cabinet to glow from within while softly reflecting its surroundings, creating a dynamic, almost magical presence.
Paired with our 42" Ring mirror in Blackout Oak with Smoked Glass.
A carefully constructed ring produced from twelve pieces of wood creates a clean but structurally complex profile. The tubular shape creates a smooth and sculptural surface with a recess at the back to allow for the mirror to float off the wall.
Shop
Convex reeded glass behaves differently than flat glass.
Instead of reflecting light back, it captures and diffuses it through its scalloped surface, giving the cabinet a quiet internal glow while softening the presence of an 8’ solid oak cabinet.
Continuous rounding from crown to base creates a unified architectural language, allowing the monumental forms to feel inviting and tactile.
