Classically simple design with immaculately execution. This credenza is quite and unassuming from a far but reveals its nuances in material and craftsmanship the closer you get. With a solid wood box made from rift cut white oak, the piece’s formal qualities are emphasized by the long and uninterrupted straight grain of the oak. The top and sides are matched from the same boards so the grain pattern from the top continues down into the side making for a visual harmony and fluidity from top down. What really makes this piece one of a kind is the ethos possessed in the craftsmanship. The piece is completely joined by hand cut dovetails on the box, and dado joint on the legs which eliminate the use of auxiliary tenons or fasteners which are so commonplace in furniture production today.  This idea of visible joinery and craftsmanship set this piece apart from almost all others in production today and what make is one of a kind.
