PANAMÁ SIDEBOARD
Edeestudio, 2018

The design of the Panamá sideboard draws clear inspiration from the elegant style of the 1950s, capturing the era’s timeless charm through its clean lines and balanced proportions.

The designers of the Panamá sideboard wanted to give importance to the woodwork, treating it not just as a material, but as a defining element of the piece’s identity. While the aesthetic pays homage to mid-century modern design, functionality was at the heart of its creation, ensuring the piece is not only beautiful but also highly practical for contemporary living.

For the design of the door handle, they drew inspiration from the distinctive pointed end of freighter ships, a detail that is both sculptural and functional. This refined shape, carefully carved into the wood, pays homage to maritime engineering while offering a tactile, ergonomic experience that enhances the act of opening and closing.

Their fascination with nautical forms didn’t stop there. The graceful hull profile of these robust vessels also served as a conceptual foundation for the structure itself. Translated into furniture, this influence takes form in smooth curves and gentle tapers that suggest movement and fluidity, while also contributing to a lightweight visual appearance. Despite this visual lightness, the structure maintains enough solidity and balance to support the full weight of the piece and its contents.

Every detail, from the curves of the frame to the handcrafted joinery, reflects the designers’ respect for traditional woodworking techniques, combined with a modern sensibility. The result is a piece that feels both grounded and graceful, practical and poetic. It’s a quiet tribute to craftsmanship and seafaring heritage, offering not just functionality, but a story carved into every contour.
