Dwell’s Oval Sideboard isn’t a show-stopping design, but it is a simple, practical and reasonably priced item of retro-inspired furniture.
The sideboard has a gentle curved edge to it, which suggest a midcentury influence and it offers a decent amount of storage space behind its two doors. It is available in either the walnut veneer finish pictured above or a white gloss lacquer.
The sideboard costs £699 from Dwell.
