Elm Veneer Sideboard by Frederik Stærmose Møbelfabrik, Denmark ca 1940s

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
Danish modern, the popular movement that took over the design world, is characterised by clean lines, organic forms, and emphasis on functionality over unnecessary ornamentation. This sideboard beautifully showcases the era’s interest in functional beauty.

The design features simple, geometrical shapes and offers an uncomplicated silhouette, which serves a clear purpose; a quality that is quintessentially mid-century modern. Combining tradition and modernity, Frederik Stærmose Møbelfabrik created pieces with a great consideration for functionality. This sideboard is evidence of this pursuit, thanks to its streamlined aesthetic and impressive storage volume. The use of elm gives the sideboard a very calm, natural feeling. The veneer has a beautiful grain and pattern that stands out on the large surfaces on all sides. The slender legs balance the design perfectly both visually and physically. With its subtle decorative element, the geometric panelling on the doors accentuates the design, adding depth and visual interest. The craftsmanship is even further highlighted in the rounded sides and the precision of the woodwork, reflecting the high standards of cabinet making at the time.

This piece of furniture carries the Danish mid-century design history that defined not only the era’s aesthetic, but still influences contemporary design. It sets itself apart thanks to the beautiful shape making it the perfect addition to any interior space.
