Cute! May I ask for the files, and permission to sell physical products made from it?
The above was asked in reference to:
which had the image:
There are two possible approaches:
- cutting the design out of sheet goods
- joining multiple boards together
For any design, one starts with a series of views:
- front
- side
- top
are usual — there are various specific techniques for drawing up 3D views (isometric, cavalier, cabinet projection are most notable, w/ the latter specifically being intended for furniture use) — usually making a 3D model in a 3D CAD program is how such are done these days.
Estimating from the tiles being 12" x 12" the overall proportions look to be 36" wide (X), 54" tall (Z), 15" deep (Y), so we start by making a Carbide Create file comfortably larger than that:
and then we draw in the views:
and then begin drawing in the various rectangles and arcs/circles which define the shapes in question…
In doing so, it will be helpful to have the image to refer to — since multiple monitor setups are not universal, and we have the space:
Set Background and Load Image:
and adjust as described at:

Done
The defining characteristic is the curve at the front, so we draw that in:
iterating until we arrive at something which seems reasonable and pleasing:
Then draw in the shelves:
and adjust for the kickplate at the bottom:
and for the fact that the shelf protrudes past the curve:
Roughly placing the initial shelves:
Align Vectors:
and Space Items Vertically for an initial even spacing:
Ok
and then drag to adjust for a more pleasing proportion:
and adjust the shelf depths:
and adjust the circle placement:
Select the circle and the profile rectangle:
and use Trim Vectors to remove what is not wanted:
OK
OK
and then use Join Vectors to close:
Then it is simply a matter of drawing in the curves/lines to create the side and back, and the rectangles for the shelves, and then re-solving the joinery (half-laps and rebates for the shelves should work well, with miters (possibly with box joints for the corners) and using dowels for the top shelf.
This is similar in concept to:
