Vivente is a cabinet system that can be upgraded or reconfigured according to user needs and desires.

The lower half of this sleeve contains a spring loaded ball that mates into recesses in the pole. The upper half of the sleeve has an internal female thread and uses the ball as the corresponding male thread. Turning the upper sleeve 90 degrees tightens the halves to the pole and shelf.

The sides and back of the cabinet attach with snap fittings. This further reinforces the structure and keeps it plumb and square.

The user can easily reconfigure the cabinets by changing the sizes and/or styles of different components.

This bracket assembly attaches two cabinets and centers the leg between them. The bolts, sleeves, and threaded wedges are inserted into the poles and leg, spreading against the inner walls when tightened. The use of a narrower bracket negates the need for the partition allowing open space between the two cabinets.

These brackets attach the top of two cabinets in the same manner. The offset allows for the attachment of plywood to which the countertop is attached. When inverted, this bracket can be used to attach two cabinets at a 90 degree angle while aligning the leg to the proper toe kick depth in the X and Y axis.

The door hinges attach to the poles with the same sleeve assembly as the shelves. The drawers use conventional drawer slides.

The same leg brackets allow for toe kick and baseboard clearance while maintaining the symmetry of the shelf holes.

9" legs, pocket doors, and an open steel frame can be used for wheelchair applications.
