Wharton Esherick
Binny’s Hi-Fi and Record Storage Cabinet, c.1950
Wharton made these stacked cabinets from walnut for his Irving “Benny” Rabinowitz. In the years to come, he would be commissioned to make other hi-fi cabinets, each one different from the previous. -page 195 from WHARTON ESHERICK The Journey of A creative Mind
Wharton Esherick (1887 – 1970) was an internationally significant figure in the landscape of art history and American modern design. As a sculptor, Esherick worked primarily in wood and extended his unique forms to furniture, furnishings, interiors, buildings, and more. A Philadelphia-area modernist sculptor deeply influenced by the Arts & Crafts movement, Wharton Esherick designed and built furniture distinctive for its asymmetric, prismatic forms. His goal was to design furniture that functioned as sculpture, and sculpture that functioned as furniture.
