About the Item

This bold 1970s French Brutalist buffet is crafted from solid oak and exemplifies the movement’s emphasis on strength, material honesty, and architectural form. The heavy rectilinear construction is softened by the natural grain and pale, time-worn finish of the oak, allowing the wood’s texture to take center stage. Paneled cabinet doors and sturdy vertical supports create a grounded, monolithic presence, while the hand-forged iron hardware introduces a dark, utilitarian contrast that reinforces the Brutalist aesthetic. Ring pulls, strap hinges, and exposed fasteners lend the piece a distinctly sculptural and functional character. Offering generous storage through multiple cabinets and drawers, this buffet works beautifully as a dining sideboard, media console, or statement storage piece. Its raw elegance and commanding scale make it ideal for modern, minimalist, or thoughtfully layered interiors.

Brutalist Sideboard Oak, France, 1950s
By Charles Dudouyt
Located in Split, Splitsko-dalmatinska županija
This sculptural sideboard holds a quiet monumentality—its façade a study in balance, depth, and geometric relief. Two symmetrical doors are adorned with deeply carved concentric medallions, each centered within a bevel-edged square that projects from the surface like a wooden echo. Between them, five central drawers offer rhythmic contrast with their horizontal fluting, lending a linear tension to the rounded volumes flanking them. In the style of Charles Dudouyt, this piece reflects the postwar fascination with medieval forms reinterpreted through modernist clarity. The carved motif—a recessed bull’s-eye framed in architectural moldings—recalls the rustic abstraction seen in French design of the 1940s and ’50s, where massing, form, and shadow did the work of ornament. Carved from solid oak, the cabinet is grounded by splayed bracket legs that introduce a subtle kinetic lift. Their flared stance balances the robust body above, suggesting movement held in suspension. The drawer pulls are brass discs, minimal in gesture yet warm in tone, allowing the sculptural surfaces to speak. Inside, the cabinet offers generous storage behind paneled doors, while the drawers glide with dovetail construction and timeworn ease. A visible fissure on one of the door medallions...
