Crete Etagere

The Crete Etagere from Baker Furniture's Susan Ferrier collection announces itself through the quiet authority of its cast bronze frame, finished in a Scorch with Anneal treatment that renders each surface with the depth and variation of something elemental rather than merely made. The finish speaks to a considered hand — warmth and shadow held in careful tension, the metal surface reading differently as light moves across it through the day. As an organizing presence in a room, the Crete operates as much as sculpture as it does storage, its silhouette lending a studied architectural gravity to any wall it inhabits.
