This particular sideboard is something rather special. Designed in 1954 as part of Robin Day’s Interplan range for Hille Furniture, this is the Unit K sideboard. It expertly mixes three different woods – a blond beech base and legs, a mahogany frame and stunning rosewood sliding doors. And the design is beautiful simplicity. It’s classic, clean, parred back midcentury design at its very finest. Slide the doors to find a cutaway shelf for bottle storage and on the right, there are four, neat removable drawers. And did you notice the brass recessed handles? A particularly classy note of distinction. A collectors’ piece that sums up the ‘form and function’ midcentury aesthetic perfectly.
