Introduced in the early 1700's, the pie safe was an essential item in American kitchens before the introduction of refrigeration. The punched holes kept perishable goods safe from pests and were highly used up until the introduction of refrigeration in the mid 1880s. This modern take on an old tradition uses naturally rusted steel to bring a warmth to this beautifully constructed pie safe. The punched holes form an intricate floral pattern on three sides. One fixed shelf inside makes this a highly utilitarian yet stunningly beautiful addition to any room. Jim Rose Two Door - Two Drawer Punch Out Cupboard with Sill Edge, 2004 repurposed steel with natural rust patina 41h x 45.50w x 24.50d in 104.14h x 115.57w x 62.23d cm JR0268 Jim Rose b. 1966, d. 2023 Bio: Born in Indiana, Jim Rose lived in Europe until he returned to the United States to attend college. After one year at Bard College, Jim transferred to the School of the Art Institute in Chicago (SAIC) where he graduated in 1988 with a BFA. His skillful interpretation of the Shaker design is a result of intense research and field study of Shaker furniture, architecture, culture and history. After over two decades of dedicated work, he has mastered the minimalism of the Shaker technique and created his own unique visual vernacular. The quilts of Gee's Bend have become a monumental influence taking this artist's work to new levels of unique interpretation and artistry. His selection of aged steel results in a patina directly related to that of aged wood while his colored strips beautifully mimic worn cloth. Each piece of furniture is masterfully made and intended for daily use. Jim Rose’s steel furniture is featured every year at SOFA Chicago for the past 25 years.
