Some really stylish modern design with a retro feel out there right now, typified by this Bykato sideboard by Brodrene Andersen.
It isn't cheap (even though you can find it in a couple of sales right now), but it the kind of investment piece that will serve you for years, thanks to the construction by expert craftsmen.
It's a sideboard you effectively design yourself, with a choice of three woods, all with a black lacquered internal surface plus a choice of colours for the laminate outer finishes. The sideboard is supplied with shelves, but extra shelving and trays can be ordered separately, depending on what you need.
The end result is a hip 1950s-style sideboard wth a Scandinavian influence, along with plenty of storage and a good surface area for your bits and pieces too. Both Skandium and Aram have it in the sale, the cheapest being Aram with prices starting at £2,322.20.
