Echo Horizontal Sideboard
By Fiam Italia | Designer: Marcel Wanders
The Echo Horizontal Sideboard by Fiam Italia, designed by Marcel Wanders, is a refined storage piece that blends artistic glass craftsmanship with contemporary elegance. Defined by its striking textured glass doors, the Echo Horizontal sideboard transforms functional storage into a sculptural design statement.
The true defining feature of the Echo is its door fronts. Crafted from 6 mm thick tempered glass, the surfaces are fused with a repeating, three-dimensional geometric pattern. This isn't just a surface print; the glass itself is physically shaped, creating a gorgeous quilted or faceted texture that catches ambient light and completely shifts in appearance as you walk across the room. Depending on the mood of your dining or living space, the glass doors come in a variety of sophisticated back-painted or mirrored options: Extra-Light White or Vulcano Grey: For a sleek, glossy, and contemporary look; Smoked or Bronze Mirrored Glass: For an ultra-luxurious, moody aesthetic that adds an illusion of extra space to your room.
To ground the ethereal, reflective quality of the glass, the main structural body is built from premium matte lacquered wood (available in matching White or Vulcano Grey). The entire unit stands elegantly on a minimalist, slim profile frame made of painted metal, which elevates the sideboard and keeps the room feeling light and airy.
A sleek metal structure in metallic champagne or dark finishes frames the cabinet, providing structural balance and emphasizing the lightness of the glass elements. The elongated horizontal design enhances modern interiors, making it ideal for dining rooms, living areas, or sophisticated lounge spaces.
Inside, the sideboard offers practical storage for tableware, glassware, and decorative objects. Optional integrated LED lighting can further highlight the textured glass pattern and enhance the overall ambiance.
The Echo Horizontal Sideboard acts like a functional sculpture in your home. It breaks away from the flat, predictable look of traditional wooden sideboards by interacting dynamically with its environment. During the day, it bounces natural sunlight around the room, and in the evening, it reflects warm ambient lighting from your lamps. It is the perfect balance of statement design and practical storage—bringing an undeniable touch of Italian luxury to the contemporary home.
