ARNE VODDER, THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE POPE IN ROME
History repeats itself, as they say. This is very much the case with Sibast Furniture’s relaunch of the Arne Vodder Sideboard. Designed by architect and furniture designer Arne Vodder in 1957, this simple, elegant sideboard was originally part of a range of furniture awarded first prize at the design museum Triennale di Milano in 1957. Sibast Furniture was responsible for its production back then, too, which means that relaunching the Arne Vodder Sideboard Sibast No 11 can also be seen as a tribute to more than twenty years of design dialogue and friendship between Arne Vodder and furniture designer Helge Sibast – the owner of Sibast at the time.
The many pieces of furniture that emerged from their common endeavours reached far beyond Denmark’s borders. In fact, they helped pave the way for a golden age of Danish design in the US. Vodder’s furniture was sent to US President Jimmy Carter in the White House and to Pope Paul V in Rome.
