Large Mid-Century Modern Danish Teak Sideboard with Tambour Doors by Arne Vodder for Sibast

About This Piece

Vintage Design

Dimensions 250x50x120 cm (L x D x H)

Very rare, high-quality sideboard from Danish Mid Century Modern. The Credenza was designed in the 1960s by the Danish architect and furniture designer Arne Vodder for Sibast - who is celebrated for the most beautiful and noble designs of that time. The furniture is made of teak and features many wonderfully crafted solid wood elements from Danish craftsmanship. Particularly noteworthy are the stylistic features of the drawer handles, the handles and the workmanship of the slat doors and the interior of the furniture, where most of the wooden parts are made of solid teak. This particularly large model has two large, smooth-running slatted doors, behind which there is plenty of storage space with shelves and four internal drawers. Five drawers with the recessed handles typical of Vodder are arranged under a flap, behind which there is additional storage space in small compartments and internal drawers.

The sideboard is in wonderful, restored condition with only slight signs of wear and two small repair spots on the edges of the drawers - nothing that would weaken the high-quality character of this piece of furniture.

About the Maker

Sibast

Danish furniture manufacturer Sibast began in 1908 when cabinetmaker Peder Olsen Sibast opened a woodworking atelier on Denmark’s island of Funen. The family-owned company steadily expanded throughout the first half of the 20th century. In 1943, Sibast’s children, Emma, Ole, and Helge, took the reins, and together they carried Sibast to international acclaim. According to Anna Sibast, great-granddaughter-in-law of the company’s founder, “Emma was in administration, taking care of the finances and the employees’ wellbeing. Ole played a big role in selling, for example, to Hilton Hotels and the White House, to name a few. And Helge was the driving force in the design and production side of the business.” In the postwar era, Sibast became one of Denmark’s largest producers of fine wood chairs, tables, and sideboards, celebrated for high quality craftsmanship and modernist silhouettes.

Helge Sibast apprenticed under his father and was responsible for a many of the company’s most successful designs, including No. 7 Chair and No. 8 Chair (both 1953). He also commissioned a number of top Danish designers of the day, like Grete Jalk, to develop Sibast lines. Arne Vodder, in particular, collaborated with Sibast frequently between the 1950s and ‘70s. Notably, in 1957, Vodder was awarded first prize at the X Triennale di Milano for his No. 29A Sideboard for Sibast.

The taste for Danish modern furniture waned by the 1980s, and Sibast declined. In 1984, the Sibast family sold the business—a year before Helge passed away—but wisely retained the copyright to many of its most popular designs. In 2012, the fourth Sibast generation, Ditlev and his wife Anna, revived the company, which today produces a few of the most iconic Sibast designs from the midcentury, along with a few new ones that carry on the same spirit.
