About the Item
This credenza is absolutely stunning! A 1970's Pace Collection Credenza designed by Leon Rosen.
This credenza is a masterclass in '70s opulence, but with a grounded, versatile vibe. It's clad almost entirely in spectacular, richly figured, book-matched burl wood, giving you that unmistakable, swanky grain that looks like a high-fashion topographical map.
Unlike its more common Hollywood Regency chrome counterparts, this rare stunner features a chic accent of burnished bronze. The bronze beautifully juxtaposes the 'swanky' burl, giving the piece a more earthy, sophisticated edge.
The architectural flow is next-level. The clean, rectangular body features smooth, waterfall rounded edges on both the top and bottom. The bronze trim seamlessly follows this curve, then extends downward to form two sleek, sleigh-style legs on each side. The result? A heavy, substantial piece that somehow looks like it's effortlessly floating.
There are three push-to-open doors that conceal generous shelving, plus a center drawer compartment perfect for your "hidden stash" of whatever strikes your fancy. Whether you style it as a media console, a chic bar, or a statement sideboard, this piece is an instant icon.
About the Designer: Leon Rosen & The Pace Collection
Leon Rosen (b. 1928), along with his brother Irving, founded The Pace Collection in New York City in 1960. Their mission was to offer high-end, contemporary furniture that stood apart from the standard contract design fare of the era. Pace quickly became synonymous with modern luxury, known for its emphasis on refined materials, meticulous craftsmanship, and sleek, architectural forms.
While contemporaries like Milo Baughman were defining their clean, modern style, and Paul Evans was pushing the boundaries of brutalist artistry, Rosen and Pace carved out their own niche with designs that were both sophisticated and spectacularly glamorous. They were pioneers in using exotic, high-gloss veneers and polished metals (like the chrome and bronze seen in their work) to create furniture that appealed to an elite clientele and architects worldwide.
Active until 2001, Pace Collection furniture remains highly sought after by collectors, representing the pinnacle of American Mid Century and Postmodern design. A piece like this burl and bronze credenza is not just furniture; it's a coveted artifact of 20th-century design that adds immediate collectible weight and prestige to any interior.

View AllPaul Evans Burl and Chrome Cityscape Credenza, Directional, Signed, 1970s
By Paul Evans
Located in Culver City, CA
This credenza is absolutely stunning! Paul Evans Cityscape line is a furniture collection that was designed by American sculptor and furniture designer Paul Evans in the 1970s. The Cityscape line is characterized by its geometric forms, mixed materials, and bold, textured finishes.
Paul Evans was renowned for his innovative use of metals and his mastery of the sculpting and welding techniques required to create these types of unique designs. He combined different materials like burl and chrome-- in this piece to create stunning pieces of furniture that were functional works of art.
Paul Evans Cityscape line pieces are highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts alike, and are considered iconic examples of Mid-Century Modern furniture design.
Paul Evans (1931-1987) was an American artist, sculptor, and furniture designer who is best known for his unique and highly sought-after modern and Brutalist furniture designs from the mid-20th century.
Born in Pennsylvania, Evans began his career as a metalworker, first studying at the School for American Craftsmen in Rochester, New York and later at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan. He then went on to work for several different furniture manufacturers before eventually founding his own studio in the mid-1950s.
Throughout his career, Evans was known for his innovative use of metals and his mastery of sculpting and welding techniques. He created furniture that was both functional and artistic, with a strong emphasis on texture and surface treatments. His signature designs often featured geometric forms, mixed materials, and bold finishes, and were highly influential in the development of Mid-Century Modern design.
Evans' work has been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. His furniture is highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts, and remains an important part of the Mid-Century Modern design movement.
This credenza would look incredible in any Mid-Century Modern, modern or contemporary environment. We currently have this credenza paired with a Milo Baughman burl dining table. When this piece is in the room, it steals the show. We had this piece featured in our booth at Round Top with a Rafael Raffel...

By Vladimir Kagan
Located in Culver City, CA

This is the Kagan Family Custom Dresser and Desk, Vladimir Kagan Designs, Inc., USA, circa 1950. Designed by Vladimir Kagan for he and his wife's bedroom-- this set is truly stunning.
Modular in nature, there is a dresser unit, that is flanked by a file cabinet, diagonally slatted drawers, and a drafting drawer for Kagan's pens. The unit has an attached drafting table with a drawer that features a multi-level adjusting lever where Vladimir Kagan himself used to sit and prepare his sketches.
Below the drafting table, you can see the groove to pullout the drawer was completely hand tooled.
This seat is comprised of hardwood, with rosewood veneer, brass legs and drawer pulls which have been polished back to their original glow, and a laminate top on the drafting table.
This set can be seen as documented in:
Martin Eidelberg, Design 1935-1965: What Modern Was, Abrams, p. 162
New York Social Diary, Vladimir Kagan, April 15, 2016
Vladimir Kagan (1927-2016) was a German-born American furniture designer known for his sleek, modernist designs that combined organic shapes with high-tech materials.
Kagan began his career in the 1940s, working for his father's furniture business in Germany. He later immigrated to the United States and started his own design studio in New York City in 1949. Over the next several decades, Kagan created hundreds of iconic designs, including his signature "Sculptured Chair" and "Floating Sofa," which became icons of 1950s and 60s modernism.
Kagan's designs were celebrated for their sculptural quality and unique use of materials, such as fiberglass, lucite, and stainless steel. He also pioneered the use of ergonomics in furniture design, creating pieces that were not only beautiful but also comfortable to use.
Throughout his career, Kagan received numerous awards and honors for his contributions to design, including the American Society of Interior Designers' Designer of Distinction award in 1985 and induction into the Interior Design Hall of Fame in 2009.
Kagan's impact on the world of furniture design is incredibly significant. His work helped define the Mid-Century Modern aesthetic, and his innovative use of materials and focus on ergonomics continue to influence designers today. His designs are highly sought after by collectors and are displayed in museums around the world.
