About the Item
Very RARE brutalist bookcase by famed architect Peter Asher out of the East Village circa 1960's. Quality design and craftsmanship. Asher designed the famous Dune House on Fire Island, NY at the height of the mid century beach house movement and had a Furniture Gallery in NYC. Sweeping linear lines encase 2 small storage areas each with a door. Rough hewn undulating edges add for fabulous movement. Pulls and hinges are Spanish style iron. Bookshelf has 3 shelves for ample storage at 9.75" deep and 2 deep bottom drawers which is deep enough for a bench at 21.5" deep. Sourced from an estate in Northwest NJ who was a friend of Asher. Cushion was original and included if interested.
From the internet:
“After two years of mechanical engineering at Bucknell and a design course at Columbia University in 63’ – 64’ I worked in Architect’s offices in Berlin and Florence and then returned home to NYC and tapped my years of boat building and personal furniture handcraft to create an East Village wood-shop, building solid wood furniture inspired by the sixth century Spanish antiques that were being imported into the showrooms of NY."
