An ebonised and limed oak cabinet perched on solid brass legs and featuring Jonathan Adler's signature Reform pattern, which originated as a relief texture sculpted in the Soho pottery studio. The design is carved onto wooden doors, and then clad in a single sheet of brass, which is hand-hammered and polished to perfection. The labour-intensive process takes eight to 12 hours per door.
Divine details—a slight bevel on the solid oak casing, a nifty float between the oak and the brass cabinet, and fab touch-latch closing mechanisms take the Reform Credenza to the absolute height of couture craftsmanship.
Inspired by the Brutalist architecture of modernist temples and churches, from Le Corbusier's Ronchamp to Miami's Temple Israel to the Cathedral of Brasìlia.
