This asymmetrical streamline Art Deco cabinet was designed by Gilbert Rohde for Herman Millet in 1933. The wood is walnut and walnut burl with a satin chrome double “U” base and satin chrome pulls. The inside of the display area is lined with the original black mirror. The bottom section is for drop down storage. It has been refinished in a hand polished high gloss lacquer which really shows off the beauty and subtle contrast of the woods. Gilbert Rohde was one of the foremost American Modernist designers of the 1930’s and into the 1940’s. He was responsible for taking the Herman Miller Company from a traditional furniture company to a leader of American Modern furniture production. Furniture, lighting and clocks designed by Gilbert Rohde are in all major museum 20th Century Design collections.
