This piece is celebrated for its clean lines, balanced proportions, and timeless modernist character—true hallmarks of Braakman’s design language.

Crafted from ebonized (black-stained) teak, the sideboard features the series’ signature minimalist rectangular black handles, which add a graphic and architectural touch. The elegantly designed base lifts the cabinet visually, giving it a subtle floating appearance that enhances its refined simplicity.

Presented in general good vintage condition with only minor signs of wear, this is a highly collectible example of Dutch mid-century design—both understated and striking. This piece has an attribution mark,
