Belgian Cognac Leather + Cerused Oak Sideboard by Hi Plan, 1970s
This monumental sideboard by Hi Plan Design exemplifies the material experimentation and architectural discipline that defined Belgian design in the 1970s. Spanning over eight feet wide, the piece carries an elongated profile, balancing mass through a measured interplay of wood and leather.
The case is crafted in cerused oak, its pale, textured grain forming a structural frame around inset panels clad in rich cognac leather. The leather surfaces introduce warmth and depth, with natural variation in tone softened by time, while oversized sculptural pulls lend weight and presence to the façade. The composition is rhythmically divided, creating visual order across the expansive front.
Produced by Hi Plan Design, a Belgian company based near Bruges and active throughout the 1970s, this sideboard reflects the firm’s commitment to innovative materials and considered design. Notably, the model was featured in the 1976 catalog of the 5th Biennale Interieur Kortrijk, placing it within a significant moment in European design history. Suited to a large dining room, living space, or gallery-like interior, it reads as both functional storage and a commanding architectural element.
