Wall-mounted furniture reflects the interest in clean, uncluttered living spaces. By lifting storage from the floor, designers created furniture that appeared lighter and more architectural while making efficient use of available space. Consoles of this kind were particularly versatile, functioning equally well in entrance halls, bedrooms, or living areas where discreet storage and a refined visual presence were equally important.

The elegance of this console lies in its sleek look. Crafted from wood with a rich, unique grain pattern, the rectangular body is defined by crisp lines and carefully balanced proportions. Two seamlessly integrated drawers sit beneath the wide top, their fronts uninterrupted by visible handles, allowing the continuous grain to become the visual focus. Raised side panels frame the upper surface, introducing a subtle architectural quality while preventing objects from slipping from the edges of the tray top. The floating construction allows the console to project effortlessly from the wall and lending it a sense of visual lightness. The vibrant red tone the wood animates the otherwise minimal form, revealing the natural beauty of the material.

The combination of practical storage and understated sophistication makes this console exceptionally adaptable. It offers its surroundings a quiet elegance, once again proving the enduring appeal of mid-century furniture, where simplicity and functionality were brought together with remarkable refinement.

Among furniture design ideas, the 1950s and 60s were pivotal for the emergence of the Brutalist movement. Irregular edges, visible joinery, and expressive grain patterns were embraced, creating pieces that balanced traditional craftsmanship with a sculptural modern sensibility.

This sideboard puts the emphasis on showcasing the material through a robust design. As is the case with its European contemporaries, this model also deserts any unnecessary ornamentation in favour of the Brutalist design philosophy, which centres around craftsmanship and functionality. The wide surfaces and the carved lines are perfect to showcase the artistry and workmanship. The design of this piece isn’t loud, it leaves the focus on the wood and the details, yet, it has a stately appearance that is exemplary of the works created by Aranjou. French furniture pieces generally show great balance between decorative and functional elements which is the case here as well. The design still primarily aims to serve as storage space. As a result, the three cupboards and drawers open to reveal ample space that makes the sideboard ideal for daily use. The maker of this table clearly focused on the material, letting the beautiful qualities of the wood stand out. The craftsman’s handiwork is clearly visible throughout, highlighting its organic allure.

The design generation active during the mid-20th century created some of the most iconic wooden furniture designs of the whole century. This Aranjou edition sideboard is a beautiful example of how successfully they managed to merge traditional craftsmanship and materials with an essentially modern approach to design.
