André Arbus’ large, two door armoire exhibits the designer’s signature aesthetic blend of modern and traditional styles. It is a piece of great solidity, yet its immense visual weight is delicately distributed in lines of elegant symmetry, creating a form that, in its pared down take on the empire style, is as new and adventurous as it is indebted to the past.
