1950s Storage Unit by Bill Renwick for Brunswick
This Bauhaus-style storage cabinet is a rare example from Brunswick, scarcely seen in its original finish. Although it is often attributed to Raymond Loewy, Bill Renwick actually designed this unit in the 1950s. It is composed of a painted gray masonite frame / trim and eight off-white sliding doors with recessed round pulls. There is a metal divider in between each two-door compartment. The lightly patterned laminate surface is a pale gray, and the case is supported by four rubber feet. There are scratches and loss commensurate with age and use, but the piece remains in good, vintage condition. (Discoloration / loss can be easily eradicated by painting the frame and or removable masonite doors.) However, these units in their original condition are so scare that we opted to present the piece in said condition.
