Tearsheet
Sideboard, walnut burl, walnut brass, Europe 1930s

An outstanding expression of European Art Deco design. This sideboard shows a truthful expression of material integrity, paired with a beautiful synthesis of geometric forms. Avoiding unnecessary ornamentation, the designer makes the walnut burl an explicit and integral element of the design. The warm, figured bookmatched wood creates a kaleidoscopic effect across the surface. The mirrored grain patterns appear almost organic in form: symmetrical, fluid, and deeply sensual. At the time, this richly figured wood was considered a luxury material, often found in the interiors of affluent homes.

Additionally, the design derives its visual richness from a balanced arrangement of compartments, creating a geometric grid. The outer and lower-central doors can be opened sideways, and the remaining door has a drop-down mechanism punctuated by a round brass handle. The sideboard rests on a black lacquered platform base, a feature that visually anchors the cabinet while simultaneously giving the upper volume a certain sense of elevation.
