DESCRIPTION

The Velo Sideboard, designed by Michele Menescardi for Calligaris (introduced as a standout piece in their latest 2026 collection), is a masterful exploration of texture, fluid geometry, and light.

Instead of treating the sideboard as a static, rigid storage unit, Menescardi approaches the surface with an architectural sense of movement, making it a true focal point for contemporary living and dining spaces.

Design Narrative: Surfaces in Motion

The defining feature of the Velo is its beautifully sculpted door fronts. The precision-engineered woodwork replicates the soft, undulating waves of fabric in motion.

As light moves across the room throughout the day, these three-dimensional curves capture varying highlights and depths, creating a sophisticated play of light and shadow. This tactile finish softens the overall volume of the piece, giving it a weightless, dynamic quality despite its generous storage capacity.

Technical Specifications & Configurations

The Velo is designed with modular versatility in mind, allowing it to adapt effortlessly to different spatial layouts—from standard dining buffets to low-slung media consoles.

1. Available Configurations

• Standard Buffet (High Base)

• Low Console (Low Base / Media Unit)

2. Base Options

• Metal Base: Minimalist, slender metal legs (frequently finished in premium tones like Matt Bronze) that lift the unit off the ground, maximizing visual floor space and enhancing its modern, airy silhouette.

• Wooden Base: A more continuous, structural plinth base that anchors the unit with a cohesive, material-forward presence.

3. Premium Finishes

The curated color palette relies on muted, elegant lacquers and metal accents designed to integrate naturally into upscale interiors. A signature combination includes:

• Frame/Doors: Matt Pearl Beige lacquered finish or tonal coordinates that emphasize the sculpted door detailing.

• Hardware/Base: Matt Bronze metalwork.

Interior Functionality

True to Calligaris’ philosophy of pairing aesthetics with practical everyday use, the interior of the Velo is highly functional. Behind the push-pull or subtly integrated opening mechanisms lie spacious, well-organized compartments. These are ideal for sheltering heavy dinnerware, delicate glassware, or home entertainment components, making it as much an organizational workhorse as it is a sculptural design statement.

Key Point: Velo perfectly bridges the gap between functional cabinetry and decorative art. The vertical rhythms of its undulating doors offer a welcome counterpoint to the flat, linear surfaces common in minimalist architecture.
