SIBAST Furniture

The year of 1975.
A time when Sibast had already travelled far beyond Denmark.

From Denmark to the world.

Arne Vodder’s designs became part of an extraordinary international chapter in Danish design history.

His furniture was delivered to President Jimmy Carter in the White House, Pope Paul VI in Rome and the United Nations office in Geneva. His designs also found their way into offices, embassies, airlines and hotels around the world.

At the same time, the wider Sibast collection was reaching distinguished international interiors — a story that helped establish Danish craftsmanship and furniture design far beyond Denmark’s borders.

What began through Danish craftsmanship and the close design dialogue between Arne Vodder and Sibast became part of the international story of Danish Modern.

A remarkable legacy that continues to resonate today.

Private residence, Ibiza.
In the dining room, raw concrete continues to set the architectural tone, balanced by warm materials, soft textures and carefully selected design pieces.
The Sibast No 8 Dining Chair becomes part of this considered interior — its sculptural silhouette and crafted details adding warmth and character to the space without taking away from the calm expression of the home.
A setting where architecture, materiality and furniture come together as one.

Concrete might not be the first material you associate with warmth.
Yet throughout this private residence in Ibiza, it becomes the foundation for a home filled with texture, softness and character.
White patinated oak, ash wood, Mediterranean limestone, tactile fabrics and subtle touches of brass bring warmth to the raw architecture — creating a series of spaces that feel both sculptural and inviting.
Almost everything is made to measure, allowing materials, proportions and details to become part of one carefully considered whole.
A home where contrast is not just part of the expression. It is what gives the interior its character.

A design from 1957, brought back with respect for the original.

The Sibast No 11 Sideboard was created by Arne Vodder during one of the defining periods of Danish design. The sideboard was originally part of a furniture range awarded first prize at Triennale di Milano in 1957 — with Sibast Furniture responsible for its production at the time.

Its understated expression is given character through reversible doors: wood veneer on one side and colour on the other, available in black, white, yellow or blue. A thoughtful detail that reflects Vodder’s ability to combine functionality with a subtle sense of personality.

More than sixty years later, Sibast Furniture and the Vodder family revisited the archives and brought the No 11 back into production — once again by the original manufacturer.

A piece of Danish design history, made relevant for a new generation.

A shared design history.
From the early 1950s to the early 1980s, Arne Vodder worked closely with P. O. Sibast Møbler, designing a significant part of the collection and forming a close creative relationship with Helge Sibast.

Their collaboration brought together Vodder’s refined approach to form and function with Sibast’s deep-rooted cabinetmaking tradition — resulting in furniture that became part of the international story of Danish design.

Among the designs to emerge from this period was the Sibast No 11 Sideboard, created by Arne Vodder in 1957 and originally produced by Sibast Furniture.
More than sixty years later, the No 11 was rediscovered in the archives and reintroduced in close collaboration with the Vodder family — once again produced by the same family company.
A shared history of design, craftsmanship and friendship, carried forward today.
