This elegant vintage sideboard in Kiaat has been thoughtfully reimagined to highlight both its craftsmanship and its versatility. Originally designed with faux black leather panelling, the unit has been given a contemporary update with bespoke fabric-covered panels in a bold plaid pattern, adding a striking layer of texture and individuality to the piece - mix of charcoal shades, black, white and a pale terracotta pink tones.
The layout offers excellent functionality:
- Four lockable cabinet doors, with original working keys intact.
- Generous storage compartments, ideal for dining, lounge, or barware storage.
- A column of four dovetailed drawers, each with recessed handles, showcases the attention to detail and enduring quality of its construction.
The Kiaat wood has been carefully restored, sanded, and sealed, bringing out the warmth and depth of its natural grain. Elevated on slim, slightly tapered legs with cross supports, the piece has a refined silhouette that feels both timeless and modern.
This sideboard stands as a one-of-a-kind statement piece, blending authentic mid-century craftsmanship with a contemporary design sensibility.

Note/Disclaimer:
Our images form part of the item/s description. Although every effort is made to refurbish our furniture to represent its original state best, it must be noted that most of the items we source date from the 1950s to the late 1970s. For this reason, and although restored, signs of their vintage condition & age might still be visible. We will normally point out any visible/notable concerns. Take note of all photos or view the item in-store prior to purchasing.
As with many Mid-Century pieces, this item features a thoughtful combination of solid wood and high-quality wood veneer. Veneer has a long and respected tradition in furniture making, valued for both its aesthetic and structural benefits. When crafted with skill and applied in substantial thickness, vintage veneer proves highly durable, allowing for careful restoration, including retouching, sanding, and refinishing without compromising the integrity of the piece.
