'Cansado' sideboard by Charlotte Perriand for Steph Simon in mahogany, a timeless piece designed for the mining town of Cansado in Mauritania. Composed of two sturdy sliding black and white laminate doors and a series of four drawers, this sideboard guarantees unmatched sturdiness.

For Perriand, storage was not just a practical concern but a means to achieve harmony and clarity in living spaces. Embracing the mantra "create emptiness," she championed the idea that liberating space allowed for deeper contemplation and movement.
