The size and silhouette of this piece make it a fantastic option for an interior designer or art/design collector to place a Statement piece in the room that catches the eye and provides an excellent conversation starter while also giving ample storage space for blankets and linens, TV/Media equipment, wardrobe / armoire for clothing, accessories and more.

Robert Whitley was one of the original artisans from Bucks County who bridged the Craft / Art divide. Whitley was honored with a career retrospective at the Michener Museum with his work held in numerous important public and private collections.

This Robert Whitley sculptural studio cabinet would work great in a Post-Modern, Mid-Century Modern, Craftsman, Classical, Scandanavian Modern or Danish Modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a Contemporary or Zen / Minimalism room. Also consider mixing it up in a Space Age Mod, Traditional, Transitional, Hollywood Regency, or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office.
