Client: Derek, Santa Monica, California (USA)
Product: Sideboard 460 VII
Finish: Transparent
Function: Audio cabinet & bedroom storage
Delivery: Flat-packed, shipped via FedEx

The Challenge

Derek needed a piece of furniture that could serve two essential purposes:

• Hold his vintage tuner and vinyl accessories

• Provide additional storage in a clean, mid-century inspired bedroom

It had to match his existing furniture in tone and style, and be robust enough to last.

The Solution

Our Sideboard 460 VII proved to be a perfect fit. Its modular design offered both open shelving and drawers, making it ideal for organizing electronics and personal items.

The transparent finish emphasized the natural birch grain of the plywood, subtly blending with the neutral palette of Derek’s room.

“I needed a custom cabinet to house my vintage tuner and provide some additional storage in my bedroom. I love the minimalist plywood design of this piece. They answered all my questions promptly and added a few requested customizations at no extra charge. Also, considering the piece was shipped from Europe, delivery was prompt. I looked for a long time to find something that would match my midcentury furniture and I'm glad I did. I couldn't be happier with this piece. With its solid plywood construction, I expect it to last for many years.”
