Design Details

Brazilian Rosewood Exterior
Executed in rare Brazilian rosewood (Jacaranda) , this sideboard showcases the wood’s dramatic grain patterns—ranging from deep chocolate brown to rich burgundy with striking black figuring. The superior hand French polish finish produces a deep, glass-like luster that allows the grain to shift and shimmer with changes in light.

Tambour Doors
The signature tambour doors roll open smoothly on recessed tracks, revealing the thoughtfully configured interior. This iconic design element adds texture and visual interest while maintaining the clean facade when closed.

Oak Interior
Inside, the sideboard features oak construction with:

• Height-adjustable shelving — customize the space for items of varying heights

• Drawers — for organized storage of smaller items

The warm oak provides a beautiful contrast to the rich rosewood exterior.

Architectural Form
The tall 103 cm height creates a commanding, room-defining presence. The clean lines, tapered or squared legs (depending on the specific model), and restrained ornamentation allow the rosewood to remain the undisputed focal point.
