Product Details
Description
An exceptional and increasingly collectible 1960s sideboard designed by Klippan Korsør for IKEA during the company’s early Scandinavian modern period.
Produced at a time when IKEA collaborated with skilled Danish designers and manufacturers, pieces from this era are recognised for their superior craftsmanship, refined proportions, and use of high-quality materials — a world away from later mass-produced furniture. Original early IKEA designs from the 1950s and 1960s are now becoming highly sought after by collectors, interior designers, and Scandinavian modern enthusiasts alike.
This sideboard is a particularly elegant example, combining beautifully balanced architectural lines with practical storage and understated detailing. The recessed integrated teak handles and raised frame base are characteristic of classic Danish modern design, while the warm teak grain gives the piece a timeless and versatile presence suited to both contemporary and period interiors.
A rare surviving example of early IKEA Scandinavian modernism, increasingly difficult to source in well-presented vintage condition.
Condition
Very good vintage condition overall, with light wear consistent with age and use.
Minor repair to the back left edge; only visible on close inspection due to a slight colour variation
Small nick approximately 3mm to the top surface
Light age-related wear throughout
Drawers and cupboard doors operate smoothly
Please refer to photographs for full condition detail.
FEATURES
Four central drawers, including original green felt-lined top drawer
Two side cupboards with internal shelving
Original recessed teak handles
Raised frame base
Solid and well-constructed throughout
MATERIALS
Teak veneer with solid wood elements
DIMENSIONS (approx.)
Width: 183 cm

Provenance & Design
Early IKEA furniture from this period reflects the influence of Danish modernism at its peak, prioritising simplicity, functionality, and craftsmanship.
