No. 11 Sideboard
Internationally renowned Danish architect and furniture designer Arne Vodder, a significant contributor to the golden age of Danish design in the 1950s and 1960s, created a line of sideboards which attracted great attention when they were originally presented in 1957. More than sixty years later, Arne Vodder’s family has been looking in the archives, together with Sibast Furniture, resulting in the reintroduction of the Arne Vodder Sideboard Sibast No 11 by the same original manufacturer. The Sibast No 11 sideboard is made of solid wood with oak and walnut veneer. It has reversible doors with coloured surfaces on one side and wood on the other. Available in yellow, white, blue and black. Wood and steel legs.

Sibast Furniture
The year was 1908. In the countryside on the island of Funen in Denmark the son of a skilled cabinetmaker was born. His name was Helge Sibast. Helge Sibast grew up and became his fathers apprentice. He worked hard, dedicated and soon developed skills of high quality craftsmanship. He took over his fathers business and began expanding. Thinking about craftsmanship in a new way. He had a natural sense for challenging wood as a material and began creating his own designs.
By the 1950’s and 60’s he had created a furniture factory employing over 120 craftsmen crafting some of the finest furniture in Danish design history. The furniture was sold around the world. The company was called Sibast Furniture. That man was my grandfather.
Helge Sibast passed away in 1985 and Sibast Furniture was no longer in our family. A great adventure had come to an end.
The years went by, and one very inspiring day in the spring of 2013, I together with my wife Anna Sibast discovered a forgotten beauty designed by my grandfather in 1953 – the chair Sibast No 8. It was too unique to let go. And we decided to re-launch the Danish Design Classic. And by what other name could we do it than the name Sibast Furniture.
