Designed by Cees Braakman for Pastoe in 1958, this iconic CU04 sideboard—also referred to as a highboard—is a standout example of Dutch mid-century modernism. Highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts, it’s celebrated for its timeless elegance and refined minimalism. The clean geometric lines are complemented by a slim, black-lacquered metal base, creating a floating effect that enhances its modernist appeal. Crafted from rich teak wood, the piece features beautifully aged veneer with a warm, natural patina. Distinctive black rectangular handles add a bold, graphic touch. The upper section offers generous storage with double-folding doors that open to reveal shelves, while the lower section includes four signature bentwood drawers—one of Braakman’s iconic design details. A perfect fusion of form and function, this CU04 highboard remains a true testament to the innovation and craftsmanship of Dutch design in the 1950s.
