Marseilles Cabinet in Burlwood & Walnut by Therien for Fournir Collections
-
Description
When grand movements of style and design are referenced in contemporary work, it requires close attention to detail to evoke a true sense of authenticity and respect for the eras that inspired them. Master craftspeople are those who skillfully draw connections to historical design motifs and reinterpret them with relevance and restraint. While few ateliers possess this level of discipline and vision, the renowned Therien Studio Workshops is one whose work consistently honors timeless design traditions.
This monumental cabinet, produced by Therien for Fournir Collections, is a masterclass in architecturally inspired design. Its presence in a room is quietly commanding, and upon closer inspection, its refined details reveal a captivating complexity.
Though unmistakably inspired by the Art Deco movement, the cabinet employs its influences with subtlety and sophistication. Most notably, its central panel features a sculptural geometric relief finished in a rich champagne-toned paint. As light moves across the surface, each angular face shifts between highlight and shadow, creating a mesmerizing interplay of depth and tone. Surrounding this panel, a field of bookmatched burlwood showcases exceptional veneer work, with undulating cuts and carefully considered rotations that evoke the effect of marquetry and imbue the surface with quiet dynamism.
The expressive materiality is elegantly grounded by bold walnut borders that frame the cabinet’s form like architectural columns. These dark frames emphasize the verticality of the piece, offering structure and balance to its otherwise monumental scale. The base, composed of intersecting walnut stretchers, nods to Asian furniture traditions and adds a sense of visual lightness and lift.
Inside, the cabinet reveals two adjustable shelves behind bi-fold doors, which slide discreetly into the body on concealed tracks. Its versatility invites endless uses; as an elegant bar, a refined media cabinet, or a display for collected objects. Impeccably crafted and timeless in its palette and proportions, this piece offers years of enduring function and visual intrigue. It shows only minor wear consistent with age and use — a subtle testament to its quality and authenticity. - More Information
