Designed in 1958, this piece hails from the golden era of Lowen's work at Fler, the studio that defined the sophisticated 'Scandi-Pacific' aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe credenza's clean, architectural lines are rendered in solid Tasmanian Myrtle, an exotic and prized hardwood celebrated for its warm, reddish-pink hue and remarkable satin lustre. This substantial piece offers generous storage across eight drawers, making it a versatile sideboard, dresser, or media console.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drawers, constructed with fine dovetail joints, feature a signature sculptural detail: solid brass cylinder pulls, each set within a precisely dished-in concave cutout. This thoughtful detail creates a beautiful play of light and shadow on the timber's surface. As a final mark of bespoke quality, each drawer opens to reveal a vibrant, jewel-toned teal felt lining — a private, tactile luxury that contrasts beautifully with the warm timber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI'm excellent restored condition, this credenza has been beautifully preserved, with a warm, honeyed Shellac finish that highlights the timber's stunning warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigner: Fred Lowen for Fler (Maker)\u003cbr\u003eDate of Manufacture: 1958, Australia\u003cbr\u003eMaterials: Solid Tasmanian Myrtle, Brass, Felt\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Excellent.
