Designed by Studio B, Newvintage sideboard was created taking in consideration packaging and transportation: when dismounted, the piece's components fit into each other "resembling kids' wooden toys", explains Eduardo Bortolai, co-founder of the studio.

The designer also tackles the assemblage issue. "Assembling a piece of furniture can be very frustrating, and there is always the risk of damaging the paint or even breaking a component," Bortolai explains. "The solution is to reduce the use of tools to a minimum, that's why the cubes all have cuts and fit into each other, creating an asymmetrical volume."

Produced by Camara Carpenters, Newvintage has recently been awarded first prize at Salão Design Movelsul, Brazil,  in the Portable Furniture for International Market category.

Newvintage is another example of the evolution of storing and shelving furniture. WGSN-homebuildlife subscribers can see a more in-depth report on this subject by clicking here.
