Orange Lacquered and Faux Snakeskin Console by Arthur Elrod, c. 1965. This piece was designed for a client’s home in Rancho Mirage, CA. While its size is modest, the blending of texture and vibrant color, typical of Elrod’s style, epitomizes the lifestyle of the groovy sixties and laid-back California living. Elrod often pulled from the desert environment he lived and worked in to design his interiors and furniture; he used a lot of color—bright and muted—and his textures entice touch.

He always uses the traits of the wood—its color and grain—to design each piece. This piece is made from African Mozambique, which Coffey loves for its wide range of colors. Inspired by the natural wear of river rocks.
