This unique sideboard was made on request for the previous owner and has compared to the regular teak version, a white laminated cabinet with a wenge finished front. The handles are made of black plastic and the frame is made of black painted metal. This could very well be the only one made in this version, we have never seen a similar one before anyway. This sideboard is from the Japanese series as you can see it has a lot of Japanese influences from that period, however this version gives it a completely new look, which is fresh to look at. The sideboard has 4 folding doors with a shelve behind and 4 drawers with the typical bentwood insides. Sideboard is in very good condition and the wenge parts were fully restored. The rest has only very minimal wear due to age and usage as the white laminate is very strong and wear resistant. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
