Carmen Modular Sideboard – Stackable Solid Wood Storage Cabinet

Unlike conventional furniture that confines you to a single layout, the Carmen Modular Sideboard embraces freedom and flexibility. Stack the units vertically to form a striking vintage dresser, arrange them horizontally for a sophisticated entertainment unit, or combine different heights for a dynamic stepped display. The possibilities are practically endless, limited only by your imagination and the unique demands of your living space.

In today’s dynamic world, our homes serve multiple purposes. The living room doubles as a home office, the bedroom becomes both a sanctuary and a storage hub, and the dining area transforms into an entertainment space. Traditional furniture, with its fixed dimensions and single-purpose design, simply can’t keep up with these evolving needs.

The Carmen Modular Sideboard was created with this modern reality in mind. Each unit functions as a complete storage cabinet on its own, yet it seamlessly integrates with additional units to form larger configurations. This stackable drawer system ensures your furniture grows with you.

 

Moving to a bigger apartment? Add more units. Downsizing? Reconfigure your existing setup. Redecorating? Rearrange the modules for a completely fresh look without buying new furniture.

This modular approach isn’t just about convenience; it’s a smarter, more sustainable way to furnish your home. Instead of discarding pieces that no longer fit your space or style, you simply adapt your existing Carmen units. It’s furniture designed to evolve alongside your life.

The Carmen collection draws its aesthetic inspiration from the golden age of furniture design. Its warm walnut finish captures the sophisticated elegance of mid-century modern interiors, while the distinctive square block handles pay homage to vintage cabinet craftsmanship. This isn’t retro styling for its own sake it’s a thoughtful reinterpretation of classic design principles for contemporary living.

Every curve, edge, and proportion has been carefully considered. The clean lines create a sense of visual calm, allowing the natural beauty of the wood grain to take centre stage. The vintage cabinet aesthetic complements a wide range of interior styles from Scandinavian minimalism and bohemian eclecticism to industrial lofts and traditional home settings.

The square block handles deserve special mention. More than just decorative accents, they are ergonomically designed for comfortable everyday use. The generous surface area provides a secure grip, making it effortless to open even fully loaded drawers. Crafted from the same solid wood as the cabinet body, the handles develop a beautiful patina over time, becoming smoother and more lustrous with each use.

The Carmen Modular Sideboard – Stackable Solid Wood Storage Cabinet is crafted entirely without formaldehyde-based adhesives, eliminating concerns about off-gassing and indoor air quality. From the moment it arrives, you can use your new sideboard with complete confidence no airing out required and no chemical odors to worry about.

Versatile Configurations for Every Room

The true genius of the Carmen Modular Sideboard – Stackable Solid Wood Storage Cabinet is its remarkable versatility. Each single unit can be arranged in countless ways, perfectly adapting to the needs of any room or purpose. Here’s a closer look at how the Carmen collection can enhance your home.

Living Room TV Console

Transform your entertainment area with a striking Carmen TV console setup. By aligning multiple base units horizontally, you can create a commanding media centre that not only catches the eye but also offers ample storage for all your entertainment essentials.

Dining Room Sideboard and Credenza

The dining room calls for furniture that blends elegance with practicality, and the Carmen sideboard rises beautifully to the occasion. Placed against a wall or behind a dining table, this sideboard serves as a natural focal point while providing essential storage and serving space.

The lower drawers keep table linens, serving utensils, candles, and other dining accessories neatly organised. Velvet-lined interiors protect delicate items such as silverware and fine china from scratches and tarnishing.

For even greater impact, stack two units to create a striking credenza that maximises storage without taking up additional floor space. This taller configuration draws the eye upward, complements high ceilings, and adds a sense of grandeur to any dining room.

Bedroom Chest of Drawers and Dresser

Every bedroom needs generous drawer storage, and the Carmen chest of drawers delivers it with exceptional style. The stacked configuration forms a classic dresser silhouette that functions as both practical storage and a striking design feature.

A two-unit vertical stack creates a four-drawer chest standing 100cm tall—perfect for folded clothing, accessories, and personal items. Each drawer measures 58cm x 40cm, easily accommodating everything from bulky sweaters to delicate intimates. Smooth metal drawer slides ensure effortless operation even when fully loaded, and the quality construction means the slides actually improve over time rather than wearing out.

For larger storage needs, combine four units in a two-by-two configuration to form a substantial double dresser. This impressive piece offers eight full-size drawers—enough to organise an entire wardrobe with room to spare. The flat top provides a natural vanity area, leaving space for a mirror, jewellery boxes, and grooming essentials.

Bedside Table and Nightstand

The top drawer keeps frequently used items within easy reach—books, reading glasses, phone chargers, sleep masks, and medications. The lower drawer stores items you need less often but still want nearby, such as extra blankets, journals, or seasonal essentials. On select units, the flip-down door even reveals a hidden shelf, ideal for keeping personal items discreetly tucked away.

For those who value symmetry, pairing Carmen nightstands on either side of the bed creates a balanced, cohesive look. The modular system makes this effortless—simply order two single units in your preferred finish to achieve a harmonious bedroom setup.

Home Office Storage Cabinet

As remote work becomes increasingly common, the need for stylish and functional home office storage has never been greater. The Carmen Modular Sideboard answers this perfectly, providing organised space for office supplies, documents, and equipment while seamlessly blending with the aesthetic of your living space.

Its stepped configuration—combining units of different heights—offers both visual interest and practical versatility. Lower drawers are ideal for heavier items like paper reams, while upper drawers are perfect for lighter supplies and accessories. The result is a home office storage solution that is as dynamic as it is functional.

Entryway and Hallway Storage

First impressions matter, and your entryway sets the tone for the rest of your home. Placing a Carmen storage cabinet by the entrance creates a convenient landing spot for keys, mail, and everyday essentials, while also giving guests an immediate sense of your style and attention to detail.

In addition, the Carmen’s 40cm depth works especially well in narrow hallways where space is limited. It offers meaningful storage without getting in the way of foot traffic. Its vintage aesthetic also elevates these often-overlooked transitional areas, turning them into design moments that stand out.

Children's Room Organisation

The durability and safety features of the Carmen Modular Sideboard make it an excellent choice for children’s rooms. Rounded, polished edges eliminate sharp corners that could cause injuries during play, while the stable, low centre of gravity in horizontal configurations helps prevent tipping. In addition, the formaldehyde-free construction promotes healthier indoor air quality an important consideration for spaces where children spend most of their time.

As a children’s dresser, the Carmen system grows with your child. Start with a single unit for a toddler’s room, then add more units as storage needs increase. Thanks to its modular design, you’re never stuck with furniture that becomes inadequate over time you simply expand the system as needed.

The drawers make it easy to organise toys, art supplies, books, and clothing all in one place.

Even better, teaching children to maintain tidy spaces becomes far easier when storage is appropriately sized and easy to use. The smooth drawer operation allows even young children to retrieve and put away their belongings independently, helping them build good habits from an early age.

Versatile Bar Cabinet and Drinks Station

The drawer below is perfect for storing bar tools, cocktail napkins, coasters, and all the little accessories that make home entertaining effortless. Additional stacked units offer space for glassware, wine accessories, and extra supplies. The warm wood finish adds a welcoming touch, creating an inviting atmosphere where guests naturally want to gather and linger.

Precision Engineering and Thoughtful Details

The excellence of the Carmen Modular Sideboard extends well beyond its elegant exterior, reaching into every functional detail. As a result, these thoughtful features become part of your daily life, offering convenience and enjoyment day after day, year after year.

Premium Metal Drawer Slides

Every drawer in the Carmen system runs on quality metal slides engineered for smooth and dependable performance. Unlike plastic runners that tend to wear out or crack, these metal mechanisms are built to withstand decades of daily use. In fact, the slides even improve over timethe movement becomes progressively smoother as the components settle into one another, creating a fit that feels almost custom-made for your cabinet.

Additionally, the full-extension design allows each drawer to open completely, giving you clear access to items all the way at the back. This means no more reaching blindly into half-opened drawers or struggling to retrieve things from hidden corners.

Soft-Close Drawer Mechanism

The soft-close drawers of the Carmen Modular Sideboard transform everyday use into a quietly satisfying experience. Instead of slamming shut, each drawer slows gently in the final centimetres of travel, settling softly into place. This thoughtful feature not only protects the furniture but also safeguards the items stored inside from the repeated shock of impact.

Hydraulic Flip-Down Door Support

The flip-down door on the upper compartments features pneumatic gas struts—the same technology used in high-end automotive applications. These supports hold the door securely at any angle, allowing effortless two-handed access to the interior without the door closing unexpectedly. When finished, a gentle push guides the door into a controlled, graceful descent. Built to withstand tens of thousands of cycles, the struts ensure reliable, long-lasting operation for the life of your furniture.

Mortise-and-Tenon Safety Lock System

When stacking multiple Carmen units, the included safety lock system ensures complete stability. Inspired by traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery, the mechanism securely connects upper and lower units, preventing any shifting or separation. This thoughtful design provides peace of mind, particularly in households with children or in earthquake-prone areas.

The lock engages easily from the rear of the cabinet—no tools required. And if you want to reconfigure your setup, it releases just as effortlessly, allowing you to rearrange your units anytime.

Velvet-Lined Drawer Interiors

Rounded Edge Safety Profile

Every edge of the Carmen cabinet is carefully softened through multiple rounds of sanding and finishing. As a result, the profile is smooth and comfortable, with no sharp corners that could cause injury or catch on clothing. Furthermore, this thoughtful attention to safety makes the Carmen collection particularly well-suited for homes with young children. At the same time, it also contributes to the refined, high-quality feel that defines the furniture.

Care and Maintenance

The Carmen Modular Sideboard is designed for easy care, helping to preserve its beauty for generations. By following a few simple guidelines, you can ensure that your investment continues to deliver lasting performance and maintain its elegant appearance over time.

Daily Care

For light cleaning, simply dust the surface regularly with a dry, soft cloth to prevent buildup that can dull the finish over time. When deeper cleaning is needed, gently wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth, and then dry it immediately to avoid moisture marks. Additionally, always wipe in the direction of the wood grain to achieve the best possible results.

Spill Response

If a spill occurs, make sure to address it right away to prevent moisture from seeping into the wood. Instead of wiping, gently blot the liquid with an absorbent cloth so it doesn’t spread further. After that, follow up with a dry cloth to remove any remaining moisture and keep the surface protected.

Periodic Maintenance

Every few months, apply a quality furniture polish or wood conditioner to the surfaces. This helps replenish the wood’s natural oils and maintain the finish’s lustre. At the same time, avoid silicone-based products, as they can build up over time and leave a cloudy appearance.

Environmental Considerations

It’s also a good idea to position your Carmen sideboard away from direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure can gradually fade the finish. Similarly, avoid placing it too close to air-conditioning vents or heat sources, since extreme temperature changes can dry out the wood and potentially cause cracking.

Hardware Care

The drawer slides and door hinges also benefit from occasional lubrication using a dry silicone spray or a furniture-specific lubricant. This helps maintain smooth operation and prevents premature wear. Typically, a small amount applied once or twice a year is sufficient to keep everything functioning effortlessly.
