Lot Essay

The scorched sideboard was designed by Sebastian Cox and made by Benchmark, a leading company of craftsmen and designers, founded 30 years ago by Terence Conran and Sean Sutcliffe. Using the ancient art of splitting wood along its grain, each shake on the doors of the sideboard have been cleaved and delicately hand-scorched to produce a beautiful textured piece.
