DESIGN NAME:
SB11
PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Sideboard
INSPIRATION:
Now a multifunctional object the SB11 originally was designed as an entertainment centre that is of course capable of storing upright vinyl records (and file folders). For a vinyl enthusiast this is essential but rare nowadays! Due to the distance of the cabinets to the wall the cables on the back are invisible.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The speciality of the SB11 is its versatility: cabinets are sandwiched between wood slabs placed on top of a delicate steel lattice framework. This sideboard is available in several lengths, in different colours of cabinet surfaces and a selection of natural wood finishes and with optional features (cable management, ventilation openings, etc.). it can easily be converted into a storage rack by stacking multiple layers on top of one another.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
If you know how to use a tip-on opening system, the SB11 is self explanatory and a very versatile peace of furniture, especially if it is used as an entertainment centre. Due to the overlapping wood slabs on the back, you can easily manage any occurring cable salad.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
The project started in September 2015 and finished in February 2016 and was successfully exhibited in Salone del Mobile in April 2016.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
I tried to find a well designed sideboard that fits in the producer's series which started with the meanwhile well known table KT11, at the moment we are developing a shelf. palatti, the producer, is specialized in wood an steel, so it was logical to use mainly these components. I addition lacquered MDF elements are used because they allow a wide range of colours.
CHALLENGE:
It was the most strenuous to find a suitable opening system. I could enthuse several producers of hinges for a prototype of a hinge, but in the end I was talking about a manageable amount of opening systems and they talked constantly about 200.000+ items. Fortunately a very good solution could be found in the end.

We are truly inspired by the versatility of the SB11 sideboard. The combination of cabinets between wood slabs, supported by a delicate steel lattice framework, provides the perfect balance of functional storage and a modern, stylish aesthetic. It is also great to see the variety of lengths, colours and natural finishes available, as well as all the optional features, giving us plenty of options to choose from to match our individual needs and tastes. It is also great to know that we can stack multiple layers to turn this piece into a storage rack. All these features make the SB11 a truly unique and remarkable piece of furniture design.
