Jim Rose Two-Door Housetop Weave Multi-Color Steel Quilt Pattern Cupboard
By Jim Rose
Located in Chicago, IL
This Two Door Strip Quilt Cupboard (2022) stands as a late and deeply resolved expression of Jim Rose’s legacy, bringing together his lifelong commitments to material honesty, historical continuity, and disciplined composition. The cabinet’s surface draws directly from the strip quilt tradition of Gee’s Bend, whose improvisational bands, shifting rhythms, and intuitive balance offered Rose a powerful model for structuring variation within order.
As with all of Rose’s quilt cabinets, the color here is not applied but inherited. Every panel is made from found, pre-painted steel salvaged from signage, industrial machinery, and utilitarian infrastructure, and all colors remain exactly as discovered. Rose did not paint these surfaces; instead, he selected, cut, and arranged them, allowing each fragment’s prior life—scratches, holes, typography, and wear—to remain legible. This method aligns Rose’s practice ethically and materially with the Gee’s Bend tradition, where reuse and transformation are acts of respect rather than aesthetic affectation.
The cabinet’s dark steel framework acts as a stabilizing armature, its rectilinear grid holding the animated color fields in quiet tension. The familiar two-door cupboard form grounds the work in domestic function, ensuring that visual complexity never eclipses use. Verticality and symmetry lend the piece a calm authority, while subtle asymmetries within the panels keep the surface alive and responsive.
Created near the end of Rose’s career, this cupboard reads as both culmination and affirmation. It encapsulates his enduring contribution to contemporary furniture: demonstrating that objects can carry cultural memory through material itself, that restraint can coexist with richness, and that furniture—made with patience, respect, and clarity—can function simultaneously as utility, composition, and quiet witness to lived histories.

Bio
Jim Rose (1966–2023) was an American furniture maker, artist, and metalworker whose work occupied a singular position between studio craft, sculpture, and functional design. Born in Beech Grove, Indiana, Rose trained as a sculptor, earning his BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1988 after a brief period of study at Bard College. This sculptural foundation shaped his approach to furniture, in which proportion, structure, and surface were treated with the same rigor as utility, and everyday objects were understood as vehicles for aesthetic and ethical values.
Working primarily in steel—often reclaimed or salvaged—Rose challenged conventional expectations of furniture materials. Through brushing, waxing, and patination, he developed surfaces that softened steel’s industrial associations, imparting warmth, depth, and a sense of age. His work drew on diverse historical and cultural sources, including Shaker furniture, Asian cabinetry, and the quilts of Gee’s Bend, yet these influences were never literal. Instead, Rose translated their underlying principles—clarity, restraint, repetition, and balance—into a contemporary language grounded in material honesty.
Based for much of his career in Wisconsin, Rose was closely associated with the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, including participation in its Arts/Industry residency program. His furniture and objects were widely exhibited in galleries and design fairs across the United States and featured in publications such as American Craft and Architectural Digest. His work entered both private and institutional collections during his lifetime, reflecting a sustained engagement with collectors, curators, and designers.
Rose’s furniture is distinguished by its emphasis on durability, adaptability, and use. Cabinets, chairs, benches, and tables were engineered for longevity and daily life, incorporating practical features such as steel drawer glides, modular construction, and discreet accommodations for modern technology. This functional intelligence was inseparable from his broader philosophy: furniture, for Rose, was a form of quiet service, meant to support human activity while carrying forward the history embedded in its materials.
Jim Rose’s work is held in the permanent collections of major institutions including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Carnegie Museum of Art, and the John Michael Kohler Arts Center. Following his death in 2023, his legacy endures through a body of work that demonstrates how contemporary furniture can be both materially rigorous and deeply humane—objects shaped by patience, integrity, and an enduring respect for use.
