Nanda is the first piece of the Parvati storage collection, designed by Serena Confalonieri for Medulum. The word Parvati, in Indian mythology, means “daughters of the mountains”: Nanda, Uma and Aparna are some of these deities who give their names to the pieces in the collection. The name Parvati, however, also identifies another very important figure, the bride of Shiva, the deity of marriage, to whom Indian women pay homage by wearing precious gold nose rings...

This tall cabinet exemplifies Jim Rose’s legacy at its most distilled and disciplined—an object where verticality, restraint, and material intelligence converge into a quietly commanding presence. The form recalls early American and Shaker cupboards, particularly storage pieces meant to stand apart and serve specific, practical purposes, yet Rose’s execution in steel transforms that lineage into something resolutely contemporary. The cabinet’s slender proportions and emphatic vertical lines highlight Rose’s sculptural training, giving the piece a bodily, almost architectural stance. The stepped cornice and subtly flared top introduce a sense of ceremony without ornament, while the paneled door and drawers below establish a rhythm of framed surfaces that echo traditional joinery, translated here into metal. As in much of Rose’s work, the steel is finished to suggest age and warmth, dissolving the boundary between industrial material and domestic familiarity. Functionally precise yet emotionally resonant, the piece reflects Rose’s belief that furniture should feel purpose-built and enduring. The single-door cabinet and drawers below offer a clear hierarchy of use, reinforcing his preference for clarity over excess. Nothing is superfluous; every decision supports balance, usability, and longevity. Within Rose’s broader body of work, this cabinet stands as a meditation on scale and solitude—a piece that does not dominate a room through size, but through presence. It underscores his enduring contribution to contemporary furniture: proving that steel, when handled with patience and respect for tradition, can carry the same sense of history, dignity, and quiet service as the finest wooden furniture. Jim Rose Legacy Collection Tall Cabinet, 2003 found steel with natural rust patina 80h x 23w x 16d in 203.20h x 58.42w x 40.64d cm Bio Jim Rose (1966–2023) was an American furniture maker, artist, and metalworker whose work occupied a singular position between studio craft, sculpture, and functional design. Born in Beech Grove, Indiana, Rose trained as a sculptor, earning his BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1988 after a brief period of study at Bard College. This sculptural foundation shaped his approach to furniture, in which proportion, structure, and surface were treated with the same rigor as utility, and everyday objects were understood as vehicles for aesthetic and ethical values. Working primarily in steel—often reclaimed or salvaged—Rose challenged conventional expectations of furniture materials. Through brushing, waxing, and patination, he developed surfaces that softened steel’s industrial associations, imparting warmth, depth, and a sense of age. His work drew on diverse historical and cultural sources, including Shaker furniture, Asian cabinetry, and the quilts of Gee’s Bend, yet these influences were never literal. Instead, Rose translated their underlying principles—clarity, restraint, repetition, and balance—into a contemporary language grounded in material honesty. Based for much of his career in Wisconsin, Rose was closely associated with the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, including participation in its Arts/Industry residency program. His furniture and objects were widely exhibited in galleries and design fairs across the United States and featured in publications such as American Craft and Architectural Digest. His work entered both private and institutional collections during his lifetime, reflecting a sustained engagement with collectors, curators, and designers. Rose’s furniture is distinguished by its emphasis on durability, adaptability, and use. Cabinets, chairs, benches, and tables were engineered for longevity and daily life, incorporating practical features such as steel drawer glides, modular construction, and discreet accommodations for modern technology. This functional intelligence was inseparable from his broader philosophy: furniture, for Rose, was a form of quiet service, meant to support human activity while carrying forward the history embedded in its materials. Jim Rose’s work is held in the permanent collections of major institutions including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Carnegie Museum of Art, and the John Michael Kohler Arts Center. Following his death in 2023, his legacy endures through a body of work that demonstrates how contemporary furniture can be both materially rigorous and deeply humane—objects shaped by patience, integrity, and an enduring respect for use.
