• Cherry credenza A mid-century credenza in solid cherry, long and low on four splayed, tapered legs: a bank of three drawers between two pairs of slab doors, with slim brass edge pulls and a warm oil finish that will deepen to red-gold over the years.
• Sage media wall A low sage-green media unit with slab doors, flanked by two tall bookcases with picture lights - the television hangs on the wall between them.
