Credenza, Unknown, Caviuna and Cane, c. 1955

About the Item

This Credenza was produced by the Brazilian company Tapeçaria Schulz S.A in the 1950s, capturing the eye. Made of solid Caviuna and cane, it has four-door compartments and four carefully made drawers. The item showcases distinctive construction elements, despite being a large piece of furniture, the credenza touches the ground with delicate pointy feet, fitting in both living and dining areas, complemented by the addition of decorative objects. We see it as inspired by the company Forma S.A. Móveis e Objetos de Arte's iconic production. While sharing similarities, certain distinctions make it singular, contributing to our Furniture Design history.
