Credenza Credentials

Leading furniture makers serve up their credentials in a smorgasbord of contemporary credenza design. Derived from credentia, a Medieval Latin term for the practice of food and drink tasting by servants to check for poison, the word became synonymous with the fashionable piece of the 19th Century dining room furniture. Its contemporary resurgence shows how taste and style has evolved. No longer furniture form which to serve imperious lords or pernickety VIPs, today’s credenza is an elegant adaptable form, from which to serve canapés and retrieve wines as easily as to access and display the latest screens of advanced technology.
