PLATFORM MODERNIST CREDENZA CABINET

The Platform Credenza. Created around the simple yet effective architectural technique of creating distance by adding space between adjoining platforms.

MAKING THE PLATFORM MODERNIST CABINET

The well thought out leg design is a skillful fusion of Mid-Century and contemporary forms. The platform Sideboard main body consists of three Ash Wood veneers faced drawers, and a combination of varying tone melamine face drawers and doors. The body is slightly raised off the face of the leg, creating the space and distance between the two planes. By viewing the side angle, you can see that within the leg structure itself are varying plane heights created with the width base rail being offset in height from the depth base rail. Depth and intrigue are created with these design techniques. In the late ’50s & the early ’60s, Finn Juhl and Arne Vodder were among the first to experiment with Formica and natural wood surfaces in modernist storage units.

Platform’s modern cubical effect is achieved through the application of a little geometry resulting in the artful combination of the varying door shapes tones. The Ash Wood veneer body is carefully finished and polished to a rich natural luster.
