Illuminated cabinet

Exemplary custom-built midcentury modern cabinet designed in New York by Vladimir Kagan in 1960. The sleek geometry and symmetry of the multi-tiered cabinet is offset by a long, illuminated plane that angles to a resting surface, the positioning and focused use of horizontal banding within a vertical structure recalling midwestern prairie school architecture, or modernist and bauhaus aesthetics. An olive burl veneer adds naturalistic textural depth to the exterior of the wood, the acquired lacquered sheen basking and reflecting in the soft glow emitted from the unique light source.
