This Transitional Wave Credenza combines carved detail with a controlled silhouette, making it compatible with interiors that blend modern and traditional elements. The carved-wave pattern flows across the front and onto the sides, offering texture without overpowering the overall form. The carving depth provides clarity beneath the metal without appearing overly sculptural.
The metal is applied entirely by hand. Thin sheets of brass, copper, white bronze, or antiqued white bronze are shaped, wrapped, and secured with flush-set nails to maintain a clean profile. The finish and hammering texture determine how the carved waves interact with the surrounding light.
The piece functions well as a console, buffet, credenza, or sideboard. Push-to-open doors provide a seamless look, while the veneered interior is arranged for practical storage. The proportions and detailing make it suitable for collectible-level residential interiors as well as refined hospitality projects.
Designed by Stephanie Odegard, the credenza is made by a small team of artisans specializing in carving and metal work. Each unit is produced to order and includes natural variations characteristic of handmade metal-wrapped furniture.
The 60-inch version measures 60 inches wide, 18 inches deep, and 32 inches tall. It is fitted with six push-to-open doors across three cupboards. Each cupboard has a height-adjustable removable shelf. The piece works as a sideboard, buffet, credenza, media console, dining storage unit, or entry cabinet. Custom sizes and drawer configurations are available on request.
Please note that moisture in the air, sudden changes in temperature, and the natural movement of wood over time may cause the metal surface to develop slight wrinkles or small bubbles. We use well-seasoned reclaimed wood, high-quality marine-grade MDF where technically appropriate, and a specialized heat-resistant adhesive to delay these effects, but perfect long-term stability of metal cannot be guaranteed.
Our smooth metal finishes will show some unavoidable tool marks, as every sheet is shaped and applied entirely by hand. These marks are a normal characteristic of handmade metal furniture. If a completely uniform surface is preferred, we recommend choosing one of our hammered finishes, which are more forgiving and visually stable over time.
Copper will gradually darken and may develop brown, green, or blue tones (verdigris) within six to twelve months. Brass may slowly tarnish depending on exposure and can be cleaned periodically. White bronze generally remains the most stable and shows minimal change in controlled environments. The antiqued white bronze finish will react the fastest at first, but because it already carries an intentionally varied patina, these early reactions will not noticeably change the overall look.
The antiqued white bronze surface is created by hand using an acidic solution over white bronze to replicate natural aging. The final effect may include dull, shiny, cloudy, or streaked areas and slight color variation. These are intentional characteristics of the finish and cannot be perfectly uniform. A protective wipe-on PU coat can be applied on request for this finish. Without a PU coat, it will continue to age naturally just like our other finishes.
