It Takes An Hour Sideboard
By Van Thiel
Rooted in heritage and reverence for timeworn beauty, the It Takes An Hour Sideboard is a study in craftsmanship and quiet grandeur. Designed by the makers at Van Thiel, celebrated for their antique-inspired pieces and masterfully hand-applied finishes, this substantial sideboard draws from the silhouette of a Chinese antique—reimagined with a modern, minimalist sensibility.
Crafted from solid pine with zinc alloy hardware and pine veneer, its simple box frame is elevated by subtle leg and hinge details. The distressed black finish, accented by aged bronze hardware and deliberate hand-chipping, gives each piece the character of a storied heirloom—like something passed through generations, not trend cycles.
At over 10 feet wide, this piece offers ample concealed storage with eight hinged doors, four interior compartments, and adjustable shelves—making it as functional as it is visually grounding.
