This Pastoe sideboard, model CU04, is an authentic design by Cees Braakman. The piece of furniture is a characteristic part of the famous 'Japanese Series' from the late 1950s, a collection praised for its sleek, minimalist lines and the influence of Japanese aesthetics. The sideboard is made of teak wood, characterized by a warm color and a lively grain. The construction rests on a slender, black metal base that gives the furniture a floating appearance. The distinctive black, integrated handles accentuate the minimalist character. The layout consists of two doors, an open compartment with a shelf, and two drawers, one of which has an original cutlery insert. The overall condition of the furniture is good and consistent with its age. The teak veneer has developed a characteristic patina over the years, contributing to its vintage look. The original construction and finish have been preserved, confirming the authenticity of this design icon. With its clear design language and functional design, this sideboard is a representative piece for the Mid-Century Modern and Dutch Design style. It functions excellently as a storage unit in a living or dining room and adds an element of Dutch design history to a contemporary interior.
