The restoration team pulled no punches on this authentic Raymond Loewy Media Cabinet Credenza, and the end result exceeded our expectations. Every inch of the wood doors and side panels were re-painted to match the original dark mocha color. The back panel was in very good condition, so we left it original. As you can see, this unit is fully finished on the back and attractive from every direction. The orange, infection molded plastic drawer fronts were finally buffed and polished to a glassy shine. The cabinet is supported by a brand new plinth base that we fabricated in our workshop. It’s painted black to match the original. Except this time, we used solid pine instead of composite material. Lastly, we covered the painted white top with a sheet of white laminate to increase durability and practicality. No need to worry about water marks and scratches with this new top. The industrial strength Formica is also ideal for TV and stereo components.
Place this cabinet in nearly any room, for any application. The functionality and versatility are endless.
It’s tough to see this one go, but we know it will be loved. This cabinet employs the futuristic use of color and materials in a way that had not been seen before. The bright orange acrylic captures the playful spirit of the 1970s. Two hinged doors conceal an adjustable / removable shelf with ample room for 12″ LP records. This colorful case-good could have blended in nicely on the set of 2001 A Space Odyssey, so place your stereo components on top and rocket off to the dark side of the moon. Ziggy Stardust will meet you there.
All three drawers have their original “DF-2000” sticker tags
