This Mid-Century Modern gem has been lovingly restored and brought back to life with great care.
Originally produced between 1970-71 by Herman Miller and designed by Peter Protzman.
Offering absolutely incredible visuals from all angles.
From the polished stainless steel legs, to the "zebrawood" pattern and semi-transparent lucite file drawers, this piece exudes the beauty of functional art in all its fullness.
This has undergone careful repairs to the original veneer and stainless steel legs.
Wood has been finished in a satin sheen using a low VOC Water bourne coating imported from Italy and offers the benefit of a long lasting durable finish and easy maintenance.
To honor the history of the piece, I chose to polish the steel while leaving the minor pitting in tact on the subsurface. Beautiful Patina. This is most notable on the lower portion of the right leg (See photo).
The Lucite sides of the drawers have been polished. They still show some signs of wear and minor marks. Not very noticeable in most lighting scenarios.
Drawers function smoothly and the piece is structurally sound.
Overall, the piece is absolutely breathtaking while still acknowledging the beautiful character and patina developed over the past 50+ years.
Additional info: The wood grain for this piece was created using exterior wood veneer from the West African Ayous tree, which was then processed in Italy to enhance its color and grain pattern.
This made it costly to produce, ultimately leading to its discontinuation just two years after its inception.
This is a rare and exquisite piece, ready to be cherished and enjoyed for generations to come.
