ABOUT PRODUCTID 8908
This gramophone sideboard, designed by Jindřich Halabala for Supraphone and produced by UP Závody in Czechoslovakia around 1930, exemplifies early European modernism in the spirit of Art Deco. The structure is based on a solid walnut wood body, veneered in a warm, honey-toned high gloss. The central panel is adorned with walnut burl, lending depth and a rich visual texture. Contrasting elements such as the top, lower central panel, and four short, outwardly splayed legs are finished in black lacquer. The handles are minimalist, semi-circular details in matching black, harmonizing with the geometric simplicity of the piece. The craftsmanship is evident in the seamless transitions between different wood grains and the subtle curves of the corners. Precise joinery and nearly invisible hardware—save for a discreet central lock—underscore the refined construction. The surface is polished and smooth, with no signs of wear or restoration, confirming its excellent original condition.The form of this sideboard tells a story of the 1930s, when modernity intertwined with an appreciation for noble materials and fine craftsmanship. Rounded corners and gentle lines guide the eye toward the central burl panel, a nod to the region’s artisanal heritage, while the black, graphic accents evoke an era that balanced disciplined design with understated sophistication. This piece, sparse in ornamentation, seems to evoke evenings spent with music, quietly highlighting a cultivated sense of taste and everyday rituals.The sideboard can be paired with an upholstered armchair in a geometric 1930
