made from fine walnut wood, the body with its warm grain brings natural elegance to the room. The two sliding doors are painted in a deep black and can be opened with a discreet leather handle – a stylish detail that combines the simple form with a pleasant tactile component.

the furniture rests on four understated metal feet, which lend the solid body a certain lightness.

the interior is spacious and functional: adjustable shelves allow the storage space to be flexibly adapted – perfect for books, files, or decorative objects. It also comes with a key so it can be locked. This model was sold by wohnbedarf in zurich, as evidenced by the original plaque inside the piece of furniture. The connection to wohnbedarf gives the sideboard a special cultural and historical relevance, as the zurich-based furniture store was a key institution for modern design in switzerland for decades and cultivated close partnerships with international designers such as knoll.

furniture pieces with the wohnbedarf plaque are particularly sought after by collectors, as they represent the close interconnection between international furniture design and the swiss design avant-garde. While variants with the label “fabriqué en suisse” usually indicate industrial production, this version is distinguished by its documented design origin and connection to design history, which makes it valuable not only in terms of functionality but also as a collector's item.

condition: the sideboard is in good, ready-to-use condition with age-appropriate signs of wear. The surface shows slight scratches in places and minor water stains. The patina is clearly visible on the sliding doors, but does not significantly detract from the overall aesthetic impression. The key is present and in working order.

dimensions: l190 x w46 x h67 cm
