Private Sideboard

Overview

The Private Sideboard is a Space Copenhagen design for GUBI. Item 10125083, the only item on the page, is the 160 cm sideboard in a light stained oak veneer.

Construction

GUBI describes an oak-veneered sideboard raised on two vertical legs that are held together by a single horizontal beam. The body holds four symmetrical soft-close drawers, each with metal handles in an antique brass finish, and the long, slim top serves as a surface for ornaments or artworks. The specification table lists oak veneer as the main material with a lacquered, light stained finish.

Specifications

The drawings mark 160 cm wide, 45 cm deep and 90 cm high (63 x 17.7 x 35.4 in).

Antique Japanese furniture

GUBI says the sideboard is inspired by antique Japanese furniture in both style and craft. Understated sophistication, timeless aesthetics and outstanding craftsmanship are named as its hallmarks, and the page calls the piece highly practical.

Strength and lightness

The two vertical legs and the single horizontal beam that joins them give the sideboard strength in structure and, in GUBI's words, lightness in appearance.
