About the Item

This sideboard is a remarkable example of the merging of Brutalist and Art Deco styles from the 1930s to 1940s. Constructed from solid oak, the piece features a robust and earthy aesthetic that highlights the natural beauty of the wood grain. The front of the sideboard is designed with a balanced symmetry, incorporating both geometric and rounded elements. It has two square cabinet doors on either side, each adorned with horizontal, recessed linear patterns that add depth and texture. These patterns provide a visual contrast to the smooth, flat surfaces of the doors, enhancing the sideboard's architectural feel. In the centre, a vertical panel is flanked by two round, half-circle wooden accents, creating a striking focal point. Above and below this central panel, there are two small drawers with round glass knobs, adding a touch of elegance and functionality. The drawers and doors together offer ample storage space, making the sideboard both practical and stylish. The piece stands on angled legs, a design choice that contributes to its sturdy yet sophisticated appearance. The slightly protruding top adds a subtle overhang, creating a shadow line that accentuates the clean lines and sharp angles typical of the Brutalist influence. This oak sideboard is not only a functional piece of furniture but also a statement piece that reflects the bold and innovative design trends of its era. It would make a distinguished addition to any living space, seamlessly blending with both contemporary and vintage interiors.

Brutalist Sideboard Oak, France, 1950s
By Charles Dudouyt
Located in Kaštel Sućurac, Splitsko-dalmatinska županija
This sculptural sideboard holds a quiet monumentality—its façade a study in balance, depth, and geometric relief. Two symmetrical doors are adorned with deeply carved concentric medallions, each centered within a bevel-edged square that projects from the surface like a wooden echo. Between them, five central drawers offer rhythmic contrast with their horizontal fluting, lending a linear tension to the rounded volumes flanking them. In the style of Charles Dudouyt, this piece reflects the postwar fascination with medieval forms reinterpreted through modernist clarity. The carved motif—a recessed bull’s-eye framed in architectural moldings—recalls the rustic abstraction seen in French design of the 1940s and ’50s, where massing, form, and shadow did the work of ornament. Carved from solid oak, the cabinet is grounded by splayed bracket legs that introduce a subtle kinetic lift. Their flared stance balances the robust body above, suggesting movement held in suspension. The drawer pulls are brass discs, minimal in gesture yet warm in tone, allowing the sculptural surfaces to speak. Inside, the cabinet offers generous storage behind paneled doors, while the drawers glide with dovetail construction and timeworn ease. A visible fissure on one of the door medallions...
