Stunning sideboard designed by Paul Frankl. Eloquently designed in lacquered birch featuring bold metal details. Manufactured in 1950 by Johnson Furniture. Viennese Art Deco furniture Designer Frankl set out to form a decidedly American form aesthetic when arriving in the United States in 1914. His pioneering work inside biomorphic design and novel materials such as corc veneer is a unique characteristic, while US-designers Edward Wormley, Robsjohn-Gibbings and Paul McCobb share other important form qualities with Frankl.
