This French sideboard in light wood charms with its shiny varnished finish and measured presence in a contemporary interior. Its appearance sets it apart from Scandinavian sideboards and adds a touch of originality to a living room or dining area, all while providing elegant low storage. The varnished wood subtly captures light, while the height of the drawers allows for papers, table linens, or everyday accessories to be tucked away. Sourced second-hand, this piece easily pairs with upholstered seating, simple ceramics, or a wall mirror. On its top, a few art books and a glass vase create a refined and very current scene. Length: 222 cm Width: 49 cm Height: 87 cm Drawer height: 9 cm A brief history of the sideboard The first Scandinavian sideboards emerged in the 1950s. The Scandinavian-style sideboard is part of the innovative post-war furniture movement. Its airy lines and rectilinear volumes reflect the understated style inspired by modernism, featuring all the characteristics of Norwegian, Swedish, and Finnish designers. The Scandinavian sideboard is made using traditional cabinetmaking, typically from teak wood. It serves as a replacement for the traditional dining room buffet and now also functions as a console. For a stylish and pleasant living room, the sideboard is the perfect piece of furniture!
