Caillette’s signature approach—marked by clarity of form, functional purity, and high-quality materials—is fully expressed in this piece.

The light-toned ash gives the sideboard a warm, airy presence, while its clean lines and perfectly balanced proportions reflect a deep commitment to modernist ideals. The upper section features two sliding doors that open to reveal generous storage space, including adjustable shelving and three interior drawers—ideal for organizing dining or living essentials.

Elegant yet practical, this sideboard embodies the harmony of form and function. Whether placed in a minimalist setting or used to complement vintage pieces, it serves as both a design statement and a functional storage solution.

A rare and collectible piece of French design history, ideal for discerning interiors. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
