Model 53 Double Sideboard, Denmark, 1960s The Model 53 is among Harry Østergaard's most celebrated designs for Randers Møbelfabrik. Combining generous storage with a remarkably light architectural appearance, it reflects the balance between functionality and craftsmanship that defines the very best of Danish furniture from the 1960s.This original example is crafted in beautifully figured teak, with striking bookmatched grain flowing across the sliding doors. The sculptural solid teak frame, softly rounded edges and elegant tapered legs give the cabinet an almost floating appearance. Every detail has been carefully considered, from the recessed finger pulls and sculpted drawer handles to the organically shaped supports that visually connect the upper and lower sections.Behind the upper sliding doors are adjustable shelves, ideal for books, ceramics or glassware. Four spacious drawers provide additional storage, with the upper two retaining their original green felt lining. The open centre section offers the perfect place for decorative objects, audio equipment or a carefully curated display.
