A rare and special find, you’d be forgiven for thinking this tall teak sideboard is Scandinavian in origin (it’s similar to an Omann Jun one of the same period), such is its classically MCM look. It’s actually a British-made piece by Austinsuite and of an exceptional quality, both in terms of design and construction. Our hunch is that this was designed by Clive Latimer and it dates from the early 1960s. You can see the Danish design influence a mile off – crisp lines, thoughtful functionality and beautiful expanses of premium quality wood. Behind the triptych of sliding doors are maple-lined cupboards with shelves, and below are two drawers, one sectioned and intended for cutlery. Tall but shorter in width than a traditional midcentury sideboard, this would suit a room where wall space is limited. An exceptional MCM piece in outstanding original condition, following a careful and considered workshop refresh
