BM0057 sideboard designed by Børge Mogensen for Carl Hansen & Søn with a solid and veneer oak frame with oil or white oil finish and brass details.
Designed in 1957, the BM0057 sideboard embodies the designer's deep understanding of modern living and its evolving needs. As a pioneer in utilitarian furniture, Mogensen developed the innovative concept of "building furniture," which emphasized adaptable, purpose-driven storage solutions. This groundbreaking piece is the result of meticulous research into ideal proportions for shelves and drawers, culminating in a design that seamlessly marries function with understated elegance.
Crafted to let the natural beauty of materials take center stage, the sideboard eschews ornate detailing in favor of refined simplicity. Its few decorative elements, such as striking brass brackets with inward-facing screw slots, create a harmonious and symmetrical visual effect. Inside, bi-folding doors reveal a thoughtfully arranged interior: two adjustable shelves and finely crafted drawers with mortise joints, designed to house a 12-piece dining set or other essentials. Side panels taper gracefully at the top, lending the sideboard a slim and sophisticated silhouette.
The structure is supported by slender, solid oak legs integrated seamlessly into the frame, elevating the piece to give it a sense of lightness and enhancing the surrounding space. Assembled entirely by hand, the BM0057 Sideboard exemplifies exceptional craftsmanship. Its intricate tenon and beveled joints, combined with precisely positioned double brackets and doors, underscore Mogensen's dedication to practical perfectionism.
Timeless in its design and beautiful from every angle, the BM0057 Sideboard is a masterful blend of calm simplicity and functional elegance—a true testament to Mogensen's legacy of creating furniture that enhances everyday living while standing as an enduring work of art.
