Curvaceous Storage-Packed Sideboards

The 'Embrace' Sideboard by Joao Teixeira is Sleek and Stylish

— June 20, 2022 — Art & Design
The 'Embrace' sideboard has been designed by Joao Teixeira as a functionally fashionable furniture piece for the mounded home to accommodate style and storage needs. The unit is achieved with a series of overlapping layers of wood veneer to create the curvaceous final form seen here and is also equipped with ample storage throughout. This enables the furniture piece to look as good as it functions and will work as a sideboard, a credenza or even a coffee table.

The 'Embrace' sideboard maintains a soft silhouette despite the strong materials used to build it and also features a series of hidden storage areas on the ends. This will help to keep essentials out of the way when not in use, while still keeping them accessible.
