The American father & son duo dominated the design scene of the 1970-80s in New York City, creating pieces that work in both a traditional and modern setting. Their unique finishes were successfully accomplished through a burial technique with specific soils to acquire the correct patina and aged look. After the passing of Philip (father) in 1987, Kelvin (son) stopped production once all the previous commissions were completed.

Overall good condition; the right cabinet doors slightly rub together when opening/closing.
