As part of The Cappellini Progetto Oggetto Collection project, Cappellini requested a few carefully selected designers to create designer items for the home. Thomas Eriksson was one of those chosen for the coveted work. Eriksson's contribution was Cross, a bright red metal cupboard that since its creation in 1992 has become a modern design classic, and is found in many stylishly designed homes and public spaces worldwide.

The starting point for Eriksson's design was to take a well-known symbol, the red cross, and bring it into an everyday context, thereby attributing it even greater value. In 2007 a whole new edition of the cupboard was produced. Cross is part of the permanent exhibition in the prestigious Museum of Modern Art in New York.
