Large Mid-Century Teak Sideboard by Cees Braakman for Pastoe, 1950s

A large teak sideboard designed by Cees Braakman for Pastoe in the 1950s. A fine example of Dutch modernist design, with clean lines, simple proportions and a thoughtful combination of materials. The warm teak contrasts nicely with the white fall-front cabinet and slender metal legs. What makes this sideboard particularly interesting is its extra-large width. It gives the piece a strong horizontal presence while maintaining the light and understated appearance typical of Braakman’s designs. The sideboard offers plenty of practical storage, with drawers, cabinets and open compartments. The interior is neatly finished in light-coloured wood, creating a pleasant contrast with the teak exterior. A beautiful and unusually large example by Cees Braakman for Pastoe, combining functionality with a timeless design.
