This small cabinet/sideboard, dating to circa 1950s and likely manufactured by Stella Möbel in Zurich, Switzerland, captures the playful sophistication of mid-century European design. Its freshly painted red sliding doors echo the cabinet’s original colourway, while the sides and top have been refinished in an off-white coat, giving the piece a refreshed, contemporary flair without losing its retro soul.
The two elongated door pulls, crafted in beech wood, introduce a warm, natural contrast that complements the cabinet’s bold colour and clean lines. Tapered wooden legs complete the look with classic mid-century charm.
Inside, the cabinet offers excellent functionality with three practical shelves, ideal for storing books, organising barware, displaying glassware or ceramics, or keeping everyday essentials neatly tucked away.
Its versatility extends beyond the living or dining room: it also works beautifully as a bedside or pedestal piece in a bedroom, shoe cabinet, or as a compact storage accent in a reading nook or hallway.
Compact in size yet visually impactful, this 1950s Swiss sideboard brings a burst of colour and nostalgia to any interior while staying effortlessly adaptable and stylish.
