Credenza |
Credenza - Although most people own at least one, ask anyone what a credenza is
and you will get either a blank stare, or, a multitude of different
answers. The word 'credenza' originates in Italy during the mid 1600s
and was used to describe the act of a servant tasting food and drink for
the master to make sure it wasn't poisoned. In modern times, credenza
is used to describe everything from a sideboard, a low storage cupboard,
a TV stand, and even a piece of office furniture placed next to an
office desk and used to hold a computer, printer, or even paperwork.
What
all of these items of furniture have in common is that they are used
for storage. An office
credenza, as well as having office equipment and
paraphernalia placed on top, frequently has file cabinets or storage
units placed underneath. In a restaurant, a credenza is typically used
to hold the place settings, napkins, water, water glasses, and cutlery
for fresh table settings.
Even household
credenza, also known as
sideboards, are used for storing glass wear, cutlery, plates, and
dishes, thought typically this is where the 'best' or 'fancy' items
would be stored. TV credenzas usually store DVD machines, DVD, auxiliary
equipment such as cable/satellite boxes. They are also frequently used
as a catch-all for equipment manuals and telephone books.
A
credenza is a valuable and much used piece of furniture in any office or
home. Regardless of your taste in furniture and your lifestyle, there
are so many different designs available that you will still find plenty
of choice. If you are just starting building a home, a credenza is so
versatile that it can serve many uses as you put your favored furniture
together over time.
