About the Item

A breathtaking blend of art and function, the “Janus” sideboard by Karpa is a masterwork of Portuguese sculptural design. The piece features a black textured lacquered case set atop a dramatic, flowing resin base finished in hand-applied gold leaf, creating the illusion of molten metal supporting a monolithic form. The interior is finished entirely in gold leaf, revealing four velvet-lined drawers and a central 8mm glass shelf, ideal for barware, tableware, or collector’s objects. Each door opens via precision hinges, revealing Karpa’s renowned craftsmanship and architectural attention to detail. The “Janus” model perfectly embodies Karpa’s aesthetic — merging organic surrealism with modern elegance, making it an ideal statement piece for luxury residences, designer showrooms, and curated art interiors. Retains its original brass Karpa label.
