While this cabinet's size and beautiful grain patterns give it a definite presence, it also has a stillness and dignity which allow it to blend in with any decor. And though its lines and details are contemporary, its proportions are all based on the Golden Mean of classical architecture, which serves to give the cabinet a sense of solidity, repose and timeless familiarity. I also designed the custom brass drop pulls, and finished them with a patina that would reinforce the cabinet's elegance and connection with the past.
