Yet another influence outside of the design world was Frank Zappa for his outside of the box compositions and business leadership. We offer a plethora of different types of credenzas, consoles, and chests of drawers. This special object makes for a nice mini-bar with convenient liquor cabinet below. If you have little ones, we suggest you order it with a lock. These credenzas are a perfect companion to any of our dining tables and chairs. This credenza has doors that are unique among doors, made with our own triple-ply pressed solid wood panel and custom handle, celebrating the natural beauty of solid wood, the perfect bar cabinet with storage for bottles below, and ample surface area for serving those mojitos.

sub-series two (case-goods and desks)
superstructures and suspended storage
After the initial group of products consisting of a chair and a variety of tables were created, John Lindsay taped into his nearly two decades experience with custom cabinetry and millwork, and hit the ground running with sub-series two (casework). The initial product was a desk that established the language for the rest of the sub-series. The main innovation was with the relationship between the super structure, the legs and arms tied together with a continuous dowel that served both a structural stretcher and a three way through tenon. With tops made of 1inch solid material, this with the super structure offers the needed strength to hold in suspension thin skinned cabinetry.
drawer box and cabinets universalized
Next, was the decision to have the cabinets share the exact same parts and construction methods as the drawer boxes, using half inch solid material everywhere with tongue and groove joinery. This universalization of the parts allows for dedicated machines ready to handle any demand, greatly simplifying the process of component part manufacturing. The cabinet edges have one inch half round face-frames with coped joints that visually match the tops, while leaving the necessary inside space for concealed hardware. This is needed for the handles to also serve as running slides running on concealed cleats.
handles turning into slides
The final touch, the jewelry of the whole ensemble is the inventive handle that runs horizontally, wrapping along the sides doing double duty as the slides. These three eight inch dowels dado into a eighth inch aluminum bar which is then dadoed into the drawer face and sides. Speaking the same language as the larger structural dowel toward the back and the one inch half round edging, this elegant solution can be used in multiple handle configurations, and becomes another signature feature in the PetalPly vernacular.
The same aluminum flat stock that is used in the handles/slides is also placed into the lower file drawer as file hangers. Expressing the horizontal with both the super structure’s two inch dowel and the continuous handles is a Mid-west tradition.
