"D'Antibes" Cabinet by George Sowden

About the Item

The "D'Antibes" cabinet was designed by George Sowden (UK), one of the early members of the Memphis collective and husband to Nathalie du Pasquier (thus explaining her influence, vis-a-vis the silkscreened decorations on the cabinet's sides. George early on thought of it as a medicine cabinet, an apothecary vitrine or just a small bookcase. In my first great apartment on the Detroit River, it was my towel cabinet in the Master Bath!! Sure woke me up in the morning!!!
