An original label from wohnbedarf ag basel on the back documents the distribution of the piece through this renowned swiss furniture store.

the straight-lined wooden body features a warm, finely grained wood surface and rests on four slender, chrome-plated square legs. The three sliding doors in white, blue, and black create a striking design element. The long, gently curved wooden handles contrast sharply with the colored surfaces, lending the front its distinctive character. Behind the sliding doors are several open compartments with shelves and ample storage space.

a unique feature of the design is the asymmetrically shaped top panel, which extends beyond the body on one side and is flush with the opposite side. This could indicate that the sideboard was originally designed as part of a larger furniture set or a modular system. A definitive attribution to a specific designer or model has not yet been established.

condition: the sideboard is in good vintage condition with signs of age and use. The wooden surfaces show light scratches, discoloration, and minor marks. There is also a small burn mark on the surface. The original label from wohnbedarf ag basel is partially damaged due to age but still clearly legible.
