Jacob Hermann – Model 2064 for Randers Møbelfabrik (1964) Some pieces of furniture transcend the trends of their era and become true works of art. This impressive sideboard, designed by Jacob Hermann in 1964 for the renowned Randers Møbelfabrik, is a perfect example of this. Whilst Hermann may be best known to the general public for his refined, wooden designer birds that took the world by storm via Den Permanente in Copenhagen at the time, with Model 2064 he reveals a very different, almost monumental side to his craftsmanship. The piece commands immediate respect through its masterful scale, uncompromising build quality and sublime visual balance. It is an extremely rare and solidly constructed sideboard that rarely appears on the market. What immediately catches the eye at first glance is the breathtaking symmetry of the teak wood. The five doors are crafted using a so-called ‘book-matched’ technique, allowing the natural grain of the wood to flow seamlessly into one another and form a beautiful, continuous pattern. The sideboard rests on an elegant, arched base that lends this solid piece of furniture a surprising visual lightness. The absolute showstoppers, however, are the unique handles. These organically shaped fittings are made from solid rosewood and feature a stunning, visible finger joint that testifies to craftsmanship of the very highest order. This kind of exquisite detailing is characteristic of the golden age of Danish Mid-Century design. Behind the doors, the opulence continues unabated. The interior is finished entirely in contrasting, light oak, creating a stunning visual effect the moment you open the doors. The interior offers a wealth of functional space with height-adjustable shelves and handcrafted drawers featuring classic, elegant joinery. Every aspect of this sideboard feels solid and well thought-out. Thanks to a thorough and professional restoration, the piece is in excellent condition, completely free of any noticeable damage. This allows the warm glow of the wood and its original allure to come into their own. This is an exclusive masterpiece that instantly adds character and unmistakable luxury to a high-quality interior. A ready-to-use piece of furniture of museum quality.
