Original Frank Kyle two-drawer Credenza with Brass pulls by Pepe Mendoza

About the Item

Original two large drawer credenza from the '60s. in natural red cedarwood made in Mexico by Frank Kyle. Kyle emigrated to Mexico in the 1950s, opening his own "Kyle de México S.A." furniture and interior design Gallery in Mexico City, where he offered original pieces designed and manufactured by him, along with other decorative ornamental objects carefully curated. Some pieces, like the one featured, were enriched with turquoise inlaid brass decorative pulls made by Pepe Mendoza´s workshop. Many talented mid-century architects and designers appreciated Kyle´s highly original, well-crafted creations, which furnished homes and offices with efficiency and elegance. The design of this Credenza is clean and eye-catching, and it can be incorporated harmoniously into any modern living space.
