Shale Low Credenza in Grey by Simon Johns

About the Item

Both monumental and subtle, the Shale Credenza brings the intricacies of nature’s geology indoors. The wood doors are scored vertically across the grain, and details of a cliff’s facade, mapped out by Simon Johns, are carved into them by hand replicating the textures of its crumbling surface. Patterns within the carving and the wood’s grain create optical illusions depending on the light’s orientation making it as striking from afar as from up close. Due to the hand-carved facade, no two pieces are quite the same. This listing is for the Low version in Grey, 84" long, mirror bas and concealed drawers. OPTIONS: Height : 25" or 30" (extra) high Length : from 30" to 144" Finish : Black Grey or Bone White Interior : Drawers (this listing) or shelves (discount) Base : Mirror (this listing), brass or wood. The Shale Collection's name was inspired by the cliffs outside Simon Johns' studio, in the Missisquoi Valley in Quebec. Shale is a type of rock formation that tends to split and erode in layers, leaving behind a layered and random composition of textures. The mapping of the composition of this cliff was sketched on to the pieces of the collection, and carved out in layers, with a router and a chisel.

Revised Amberley Low – solid oak buffet/ credenza/ sideboard
By Sjoerd Vroonland, Revised
Located in Amsterdam, NL
Amberley is designed by Sjoerd Vroonland & Casper Vissers for Revised When we encountered vintage wood tambour sliding doors, manufactured for church organs, it inspired us to create the Amberley collection. A family of cupboards crafted from solid wood and fitted with solid wood tambour sliding doors. The rhythmic pattern of the wooden slats offer a unique tactile and visual experience. Amberley features more unique details such as subtle solid wood edging along its top and smooth legs as an integrated part of the structure. Inspired by the past and made possible by present day technology. The Amberley is the definition of a modern classic. Revised Amberley...
