About the Item

The Parsons style console has remained popular for nearly a decade. The effortless design was originally attributed to the Parsons School of Design in New York City. It was however conceived by the renown designer Jean-Michael Frank during his teaching at Parsons Paris in the 1930’s. The motif is one of simplicity, often relying on its materials to exude a particular feeling or aesthetic. The shown Parsons console is particularly special as it was designed and produced by the leather powerhouse Edelman Leather using their own genuine Python skin. This console was produced for use expressly in Edelman Leather’s own facility. The piece undoubtedly channels the great Karl Springer with its use of genuine Python skin, a material the designer would employ on exquisite tables and consoles. Considering the delicacy of this material, the console remains in very good condition with only minor wear consistent with age and history. As this was a self-propelled build by Edelman, the company’s mark is present on the underside of the piece by way of a burnished strip of leather. Countless panels of Python skin were used to bring the console together and the result is understated, exotic, and elegant in one.
