Metal Shell Sideboards

C1 Credenza by Marcus Friesl Boasts a Floating Shelf

Although the C1 Credenza drawer unit has a sleek, modern silhouette, the prominent use of grainy wood and the thin layer of metal gives it a classic, industrial aesthetic. Appealing to at least two different personal tastes, the C1 Credenza sideboard has a lot of character.

This is mainly due to how the sheet of metal is used. Instead of simply covering the top and side exteriors, it separates the top drawers from the bottom. The C1 Credenza achieves this by folding inwards to create a shelf-like support between the two.

The C1 Credenza was designed by Marcus Friesl of mf design group. Built in Canada, it may have been enhanced with innovative technology, but it is still full of warmth.
