Rare Mid-Century Space Age Sideboard / Chest of Drawers – Elco, Germany, 1970s
A highly distinctive 1970s Space Age sideboard / chest of drawers by Elco, Germany, featuring a striking combination of dark blue drawer fronts, white laminate surfaces, sculptural round handles and an elegant chrome-plated pedestal base.
This exceptional piece is a beautiful example of German Space Age furniture design of the 1970s, a period characterized by futuristic forms, geometric silhouettes, innovative materials and strong contrasts between colour, laminate and polished metal.
The sideboard features six spacious drawers arranged in two columns of three, each fitted with the characteristic round Space Age handles. The deep blue drawer fronts contrast beautifully with the white laminate top and side panels, creating a clean and graphic appearance.
The elevated chrome-plated metal base gives the cabinet a distinctive floating appearance, while the minimalist construction and strong horizontal proportions make it particularly appealing in modern interiors.
The combination of dark blue laminate, white surfaces and polished chrome gives this cabinet an unmistakable 1970s Space Age character. It would work beautifully as a sideboard, chest of drawers, storage cabinet, media cabinet or statement piece in a living room, bedroom, hallway, office or designer interior.
