Guido Crepax

I absolutely LOVED these pieces when I saw them at Moss here in New York a while back but go figure, I didn’t bother to write down any information about them. Thanks to our friends at Things of Random Coolness, however, I’ve been reconnected with my long-lost love. Or at least with some awesome pieces of furniture.

Featuring comic art by the late Guido Crepax, an influential European comic book artist, the Kadhora Cabinet and the 4-drawer Crepax Cabinet are works of art in their own right. They absolutely suck you in, inviting you to read the storyline and peruse the provocative (and sometimes dirty) images adorning their surfaces. When I saw them, they were perfectly displayed on the gallery-like pedestals that Moss is well-known for and while I’m sure they’d stand out in the home setting as well, these need a well lit corner to be thoroughly appreciated. And it’d be a shame to put one of these beauties against a wall for fear of covering up the art.
