About the Item
When grand movements of style and design are referenced in contemporary work, it requires close attention to detail to evoke a true sense of authenticity and respect for the eras that inspired them. Master craftspeople are those who skillfully draw connections to historical design motifs and reinterpret them with relevance and restraint. While few ateliers possess this level of discipline and vision, the renowned Therien Studio Workshops is one whose work consistently honors timeless design traditions.
This monumental cabinet, produced by Therien for Fournir Collections, is a masterclass in architecturally inspired design. Its presence in a room is quietly commanding, and upon closer inspection, its refined details reveal a captivating complexity.
Though unmistakably inspired by the Art Deco movement, the cabinet employs its influences with subtlety and sophistication. Most notably, its central panel features a sculptural geometric relief finished in a rich champagne-toned paint. As light moves across the surface, each angular face shifts between highlight and shadow, creating a mesmerizing interplay of depth and tone. Surrounding this panel, a field of bookmatched burlwood showcases exceptional veneer work, with undulating cuts and carefully considered rotations that evoke the effect of marquetry and imbue the surface with quiet dynamism.
The expressive materiality is elegantly grounded by bold walnut borders that frame the cabinet’s form like architectural columns. These dark frames emphasize the verticality of the piece, offering structure and balance to its otherwise monumental scale. The base, composed of intersecting walnut stretchers, nods to Asian furniture traditions and adds a sense of visual lightness and lift.
Inside, the cabinet reveals a system originally designed for entertainment; a pullout swiveling stand perfect for a bar and a top shelf for wireless speakers or added storage. The generously sized double doors can be discreetly slid into the body of the piece on concealed tracks. Its versatility invites endless uses; as an elegant bar, a refined media cabinet, or a display for collected objects. Impeccably crafted and timeless in its palette and proportions, this piece offers years of enduring function and visual intrigue. This monumental cabinet shows some wear consistent with age and use as seen in our photos, yet it very much retains its original structural integrity — a subtle testament to its enduring quality and authenticity.
