Internationally renowned Danish architect and furniture designer Arne Vodder, a significant contributor to the golden age of Danish design in the 1950s and 1960s, created a line of sideboards which attracted great attention when they were originally presented in 1957. More than sixty years later, Arne Vodder’s family has been looking in the archives, together with Sibast Furniture, resulting in the reintroduction of the Arne Vodder Sideboard Sibast No 11 by the same original manufacturer.The Sibast No 11 sideboard is made of solid wood with oak and walnut veneer. It has reversible doors with coloured surfaces on one side and wood on the other. Available in yellow, white, blue and black. Wood and steel legs.
ARNE VODDER, THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE POPE IN ROME
History repeats itself, as they say. This is very much the case with Sibast Furniture’s relaunch of the Arne Vodder Sideboard. Designed by architect and furniture de – signer Arne Vodder in 1957, this simple, elegant sideboard was originally part of a range of furniture awarded first prize at the design museum Triennale di Milano in 1957. Sibast Furniture was responsible for its production back then, too, which means that relaunching the Arne Vodder Sideboard Sibast No 11 can also be seen as a tribute to more than twenty years of design dialogue and friendship between Arne Vodder and furniture designer Helge Sibast – the owner of Sibast at the time.
The many pieces of furniture that emerged from their common endeavours reached far beyond Denmark’s borders. In fact, they helped pave the way for a golden age of Danish design in the US.
