Teak Sideboard Attributed to Carl Axel Acking, 1950s
Ref.: GA010040
This three-section sideboard features sliding doors crafted in teak wood. With an elegant and functional style, this piece combines mid-century Scandinavian aesthetics with contemporary versatility. The three compartments, lockable drawers, and shelves behind the doors provide ample storage without compromising the design’s lightness. The vertical lines and subtle play of volumes create a balanced composition, making the upper part visually lighter than the lower section.
Details such as teak handles and drawers, a simple sliding system visible on the side, and the finishing of the legs add sophistication to the seemingly simple design.
Condition:
Very good vintage condition. This sideboard has been carefully restored but may show signs of use and aging.
Dimensions:
- Height: 59.8 inches
