Aveline Oak Sideboard

Chevron oak veneer in a deep walnut stain, long brass handles, slim tapered metal legs, four soft-close doors at 180cm — the Aveline sideboard that makes a dining room feel genuinely designed.

The chevron pattern on the Aveline's door fronts is the specific detail that transforms this from a well-made sideboard into a considered piece of furniture design — the V-shaped grain meeting at the centre of each door pair creates a symmetrical, architectural pattern that draws the eye and rewards the closer look. In a deep walnut stain the oak grain reads as a rich, dark surface with the characteristic warmth of oak visible beneath the finish, and the long brass handles running vertically across each door provide the metallic accent that sits in perfect contrast to the dark timber. The open image reveals a generously appointed interior with adjustable shelving across the full width.

What sets it apart

The detail that makes it different

The chevron is a pattern achieved by bookmatching — matching and mirroring adjacent veneer sheets so that the grain meets symmetrically at the door centre — a technique that requires careful material selection and precise assembly to achieve the clean, mirror-image V that makes the pattern so visually satisfying. The result is a door front where the natural grain of the oak becomes the decorative element rather than a background surface. The long vertical brass handles — running the full height of the door rather than a short pull — are proportionally bold and immediately identify the piece as mid-century in character, the elongated form contrasting with the horizontal span of the 180cm cabinet beneath.
