New xo Credenza Brings Cool Cabinetry to Hot Line.
Developed during the Renaissance as a kind of sideboard, the credence
table evolved into an essential staple of the executive office in the
20th century: the credenza. Now, inspired by the clean planar lines and
elegant simplicity of xo desks, tables, and workstations, DatesWeiser
introduces the sleek, sculpted xo credenza.
Winner of the Gold Award for Desks and the Silver Award for Furniture
Systems at NeoCon last year, xo returns with an exciting product line
that sets a new international standard for inherently beautiful and easy-to-assemble
office furniture created from a kit of parts.
"The xo credenza is reminiscent of an early Eames elevation with
its moving vertical planes that comprise the sliding doors," says
Allan Weiser, DatesWeiser President. "But it is first and foremost
a classic contemporary piece introduced to provide a special flourish
to this year’s xo product line with its primary theme of planar movement."
With its mitered corners and integration of wood, aluminum, and glass,
the xo credenza represents an outstanding example of the craftsmanship
of DatesWeiser within the context of the xo vocabulary. Presented at NeoCon
in a 7-foot wide model in clear-coat quarter figured sycamore, the credenza
will be available in several different colors and sizes.
The xo credenza features a 1/2-inch frosted-back mirrored glass top edged
in aluminum, vertical frosted-glass doors, horizontal drawers, and aluminum
edge bands. Legs can be ordered either square or tapered and the credenza
is available with either a finished or unfinished back. Like the other
xo products, the credenza is a designer’s dream.
"We sought to create a credenza that was both a beautiful piece
of furniture and a functional storage cabinet," explains Allan Weiser,
DatesWeiser president. "The advantage of working with DatesWeiser
is our long experience with custom furniture. We understand the language
of custom. So when people want to push the envelope beyond the standard
parameters, we’re right there with them."
This year, xo also offers painted metallic colors on all vertical surfaces
while worktops still remain either wood or plastic laminate. These lush
and vibrant colors beautifully accent the wood finishes and offer even
more variables for the creative designer.
