The Belomo Sideboard is a stunning piece of customized furniture. Made exclusively for the mastermind behind Yanko Design, who subsequently featured it as well, it is at once minimalist and raw. Supported on two sets of white tripod legs, the Belomo Sideboard has ribbed wooden doors and a wooden frame that has undergone a white wash for more balance and character.
Designed by Curtis Micklish, the Belomo Sideboard is solid and sturdy without looking it. Instead, it has a light and airy quality that is tempered by an overall masculine aesthetic. Made entirely out of poplar wood, the Belomo Sideboard is unassuming but for a small cubby window that allows subtle show and tell opportunities. It even came with a matching box to cover an ugly protruding AC unit.
