made of exquisite walnut, the body, with its warm grain, brings a touch of natural elegance to any room. The two sliding doors are finished in a deep black lacquer and open with discreet leather handles – a stylish detail that combines the simple form with a pleasing tactile element.

the piece rests on four understated metal legs, which lend the solid body a certain lightness.

the interior is spacious and functional: adjustable shelves allow for flexible storage – perfect for books, files, or decorative objects. A key is included, so the sideboard can be locked. This model was distributed by wohnbedarf in zurich, as evidenced by the original plaque inside the piece. The connection to wohnbedarf lends the sideboard a special cultural and historical significance, as the zurich-based furniture store was a key institution for modern design in switzerland for decades and maintained close partnerships with international designers such as knoll.

furniture pieces bearing the wohnbedarf label are particularly sought after by collectors – they represent the close interrelationship between international furniture design and the swiss design avant-garde. While versions marked "fabriqué en suisse" (made in switzerland) usually indicate industrial production, this particular piece is distinguished by its documented design origin and connection to design history, making it not only functional but also valuable to collectors.

condition: the sideboard is in good, ready-to-use condition with age-appropriate signs of wear. The surface shows some light scratches and minor water stains. The patina is clearly visible on the sliding doors, but this does not significantly detract from the overall aesthetic appeal. The key is present and functional.
