An Elegant Illusion
Moore + Friesl's architectural credenza defies gravity
C1 Credenza is the first stand-alone furniture piece designed by
Moore + Friesl, a Los Angeles-based architecture and design firm
founded in 2011 by husband-and-wife architects Terri Moore, who
began her career with ZGF Architects, and Marcus Friesl, who worked
with GRAFT, Contract's 2010 Designer of the Year.
Moore + Friesl designed the credenza so that a continuous,
⅛-inch bent steel plate appears to support an upper and lower set
of wood drawers while spanning seven feet-all without the use of
intermediate supports. The secret? Engineered self-supported cross
plates are concealed beneath the drawers. The metal shell is bent
to resemble feet, and finger pulls are cut into the metal edge so that
there are no handles to interrupt the credenza's clean face.
The design of the C1 Credenza, the prototype of which won
a 2012-2013 Golden A' Design Award, represents Friesl's belief that
modern furniture can be tactile. "So many contemporary furnishings
30
are stark and cold, and we wanted to offer something more warm and
inviting so that people will want to run their hands along the surface
and feel the form," he says.
Initially released with a black matte metal finish, C1 Credenza is
now available in red and white matte options. The wood drawers are
made of richly grained satin walnut. Available in custom wood and
metal finishes, and in custom sizes, the standard piece measures
16 inches deep and 26 inches tall.
Other recent furnishing designs by Moore + Friesl include a
one-of-a-kind reception desk and 25-foot-long boardroom table for
Third Point Investments, and a series of freestanding sales tables,
podiums, and reception and display tables for the Van Cleef
and Arpels showroom in New York. -MURRYE BERNARD
