Enclose. Organize, protect, conceal, display. Impose order, set forth a treasure, store a secret


A place for everything, and everything in its place.

Liberal borrowings from Deco master Ruhlmann: silk corded pulls with ivory bezels and pendants (actually Corian, a carveable material used for countertops) , a tapering, hexagonal leg. Hinging the closely-butting curved doors was a trick. Sycamore veneers match across top and front. The contour I picked for the four doors- convex, concave x 2, convex- is seen in Hepplewhite sideboards. Making this Art Heppo.
