Sideboard by Ib Kofod-Larsen for Säffle Möbelfabrik, Sweden, 1958.

Beautiful palisander sideboard designed by de Danish designer Ib Kofod-Larsen, produced by Swedish manufacturer Säffle Möbelfabrik. This very sought after model with it’s V-shaped legs looks classic and modern at the same time. The Pallisander Veneer has a beautiful grain that at the same time isn’t overbearing. With it’s size and 4 doors it creates a lot of shelving space. Outstanding production quality and attention to detail.

Presumably only 40 or 50 of these have been made when the Säffle factory bought a left over stack of veneer from another factory.
