This version is distinguished by its four doors clad in panels of woven natural raffia, an unusual finish that adds warmth and texture to the clean lines of Florence Knoll's modernist vision. The contrast between the raffia, the walnut veneer, the chromed steel base, and the black leather-wrapped handles lends this piece a timeless elegance.

The interior offers four storage compartments, each equipped with an adjustable shelf, providing ample storage capacity. The back, lacquered in its original finish, also allows for a striking centerpiece.

The sideboard retains its original Knoll International maker's plaque.

It has undergone meticulous restoration in our workshop: the veneer has been completely redone, and the finish restored to its original appearance. It is currently in excellent condition, with only slight signs of wear consistent with its age.

with its understated design, quality craftsmanship, and the rarity of this raffia finish, this sideboard is an iconic piece of 20th-century American design and a sought-after item for collectors of Florence Knoll furniture. This piece has an attribution mark,
