A quintessential architectural piece, it perfectly illustrates the boldness and refinement of mid-20th-century south american design, playing on striking contrasts.

architectural lines and noble wood: this sideboard stands out with its simultaneously austere and inviting appearance. Crafted from a noble tropical hardwood, its tight, luminous grain evokes imbuia, a wood widely used by brazilian designers of the era.

the cabinetmaking is particularly meticulous, highlighted by the elegant solid wood clasp that secures the lower doors.

the unique feature of this bookcase lies in its two-tone finish. The interior of the glass-fronted section, as well as its top, reveals a deep carmine-red lacquer. This unexpected touch of color enhances the honeyed hues of the wood and provides a spectacular setting for your collector's items.

designed to showcase beautiful objects, the upper section features glass sides and sliding glass doors that allow light to flow freely. The lower section, enclosed by two wooden doors, offers ample, discreet storage space. A statement piece for an interior seeking exclusivity.
