About the Item

First edition 'Broadside" lateral file cabinet by Steelcase, 1966. Two available. Priced individually. Each yellow filing cabinet has four pull-out divided file drawers in tonal color scheme: dark brown, medium brown, beige and yellow. The yellow upper cabinets which sit on top add an additional 28 inches to height and have a single removable shelf and two sliding doors. The upper yellow cabinet can be removed if desired. Both cabinets have been fitted with a Steelcase chrome base consisting of chromed steel square tube frame and four legs which provide an additional 9 inches of height, or they can be removed if you prefer to have the cabinets stand directly on the floor. No locks. Thanks for spotting that. I’ll fix. The top yellow cabinet is 28” high. The chrome base adds 9” of height. Excluding the base, dimensions of the main file drawer cabinet are 52” H x 42” W x 18” D. The main file cabinet and the upper are 82” high. 91” is total total height including the chrome base. These filing cabinets came from the office of a Rhode Island factory that produced silverware for Reed & Barton. Surely film set decorator Edward G. Boyle would have used these in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying! More recently these have been part of the set decoration of Netflix series ‘Severence’ season 2.

Gilbert Rohde Paldao Cabinet for Herman Miller
By Herman Miller, Gilbert Rohde
Located in Hanover, MA
Gilbert Rohde designed this chest for Herman Miller as part of his 1941 Paldao Line of streamline modernist and modular furniture in exotic veneer. This is model no. 4103, two-door cabinet with distinctively incised large round pulls, interior fitted with two adjustable shelves behind the left door and five pull-out drawers behind the right door, fronts finished in black enamel. The case top and sides are Paldao wood; the doors are in highly figured burl Acacia. The finish is called "Beaver" which is natural color, no stain, satin varnish. The back is numbered "4130." All of Rohde's designs for Herman Miller are marked with a 4-digit number; the first two numbers indicate the year, and the second two numbers indicate the individual piece. Newly refinished and ready to place in your home. The Herman Miller Furniture Company was devoted to manufacturing period reproduction furniture until Pioneer industrial designer Gilbert Rohde walked into their Grand Rapids showroom in 1930. A devout modernist, Rohde convinced D.J. De Pree to focus on modern furniture throughout the 1930s, and to produce exclusively modern furniture by the time Rohde died in 1944. Work by the pioneering American industrial and furniture designer, Gilbert Rohde, is notable for its thoroughly modern, informal, and multifunctional qualities. Rohde’s ability to create appealing modernist furnishings for middle-class homes, while also devising merchandising strategies to sell these goods, places him within a unique framework in American design history. Born and raised in New York, Rohde was the son of a cabinetmaker. He attended New York City public schools and his post-high school education included courses at the Art Students League and the Grand Central School of Art. Rohde’s visit to Europe in the spring and summer of 1927 (with later trips in 1931 and 1937) to see the Bauhaus in Dessau and the French modernist design that debuted in the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris, profoundly inspired his concept of design and the role it should play in daily life. The French Art Deco and German rationalist styles he saw in Europe influenced the furniture he designed from the late 1920s into the 1940s, pieces he created to suit a rapidly changing American lifestyle. In addition to his work for Herman Miller Inc., Rohde also designed for several other furniture firms, including Thonet, Troy Sunshade, and Heywood-Wakefield. What set Rohde apart from his contemporaries was his all-encompassing understanding of the furniture industry, from design and production to marketing and showroom display.[1] During his time with Herman Miller Inc. (1932-1944), Rohde set the standard for collaborative efforts between designers and furniture firms, with George Nelson and Charles and Ray Eames later...
