Paul Evans Patchwork Copper Cabinet with Slate Top for Directional, c. 1967
Stunning copper clad cabinet by Paul Evans for Directional, produced in circa 1967. This incredible piece of design history is fabricated from patinated pieces of copper, brass, and pewter which have been welded and nailed in a patchwork style pattern resting on top of a patinated metal base. The 2 oversized round front door pulls are what sets this design apart from the rest - giving personality and character to this piece, almost to the point of personifying the cabinet.
The top has been fitted with an inset slate stone and the two-door front opens to reveal a black lacquered interior which is divided into two, one side open storage space and the other with a single shelf. The cabinet sits atop casters for easy relocating. The back is fully finished so feel free to float this in the middle of the room - there is no need to have to place it against a wall. The fusion of these exterior materials formulates an exemplary piece which would be a welcome addition to any design lovers collection.
We have the matching sideboard, double wide credenza, coffee table, cafe / game table, flip-top bar cabinet, and floating wall console with mirror. We also carry other Paul Evans designs, including Cityscape, Deep-Relief, and Sculpted Metal Collections. Contact us for more information or see our other listings for more details.
This Paul Evans patchwork copper cabinet for Directional would work great in a brutalist, mid-century modern, scandinavian or danish modern, or American modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a contemporary, hollywood regency or post-modern room. Also consider mixing it up in a traditional, classical or art deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. This cabinet would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge, members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office. Consider using as a dry bar for cocktail liquor or wine storage, a smaller credenza for an office or New York apartment, chest of drawers for linens, blanket chest, or just as a functional fine art piece.
