Tralhão Furniture: A hit in Milan

Usually when I think of MDF, I am plunged headlong into ghastly recollections of home improvement shows in the late 90's where they'd cover everything in the stuff and spray stars onto it and so I quickly change mental channels. However, Portuguese design group Tralhão Furniture have completely changed my mind about it. They scored high with critics in Milan this year with their MDF cabinets. Using everything from silver leaf to glass feet, you would never guess that a material commonly associated with flatpack furniture provides the frame for these creations. IKEA eat your heart out!
