About the Item
Designer
Merton L. Gershun
Manufacturer
Dillingham
This low-profile tambour-door credenza exemplifies the best of American mid-century modern design, offering both refined form and thoughtful function. Designed by Merton L. Gershun for Dillingham in the 1960s, its wedge-shaped silhouette and smooth walnut tambour doors give the piece a warm yet streamlined presence perfect for contemporary interiors. Behind the sliding doors is a spacious interior with compartmentalized storage that adapts easily for media components, linens, or everyday essentials, while its raised lip top surface adds subtle visual detail. Elevated on tapered legs, the credenza feels light and poised, balancing its generous proportions with elegant structure. Newly refinished by skilled craftsmen, the rich walnut finish highlights the grain and ensures this piece is ready for modern use with timeless appeal.
Fun Historical Fact
During the mid-20th century, designers like Merton L. Gershun helped define an American interpretation of modern furniture that valued both practicality and refined aesthetics. Incorporating tambour doors — a design feature borrowed from traditional roll-top desks — was a clever way to offer smooth, space-saving access without interrupting a clean façade. Pieces like this credenza were designed to be versatile in postwar living spaces, easily functioning as storage, media consoles, or display surfaces in homes that embraced modern design.
