About the Item

This large and rare sideboard from the Torino series by Belgian designer Frans Defour is a powerful example of Brutalist design, crafted in the early 1970s. Its front features a striking grid of deeply carved circular forms, sculpted in solid oak and finished in a deep black stain, creating an interplay of light and shadow. A thick frosted glass top is elevated above the cabinet, lending it a modernist, architectural edge. The interior combines natural wood and lacquered shelving, offering generous storage behind the graphic facade. This piece stands at the intersection of brutalism and early postmodernism — bold, geometric, and unapologetically sculptural.
