Echo Tall Sideboard
By Fiam Italia | Designer: Marcel Wanders
The Echo Tall Sideboard by Fiam Italia, designed by Marcel Wanders, is a sophisticated display cabinet that combines architectural elegance with the artistic craftsmanship of decorative glass. Designed to showcase treasured objects while providing practical storage, this tall cabinet brings a luminous and sculptural presence to contemporary interiors.
The defining feature of this tall showcase is its 6 mm thick tempered glass doors and side panels, which are physically heat-fused into a repeating geometric pattern of raised triangles and diamonds. This creates a striking, quilted surface that catches ambient light from every single angle, making the entire cabinet appear to ripple and shift in depth as you walk past it.
To truly bring your treasures to life, the Echo Tall features an optional integrated LED lighting system hidden inside the front aluminum structural pillars. This downlight passes seamlessly through the 8 mm thick crystal-clear glass shelves, casting a warm, museum-quality glow over your finest glassware, sculptures, or books, making them look as if they are floating in mid-air.
You can tailor the mood of this tall tower to match your specific home aesthetic: The Structural Frame: The sleek, metallic aluminum profiles come in sophisticated, varnished options like a deep Vulcan Grey, a warm Metallic Greige, or a glowing Metallic Champagne; The Glass Enclosure: Choose a pure, weightless Extralight glass for maximum transparency, a moody and dramatic Smoke Grey, or a warm, inviting Bronze.
The cabinet stands on a beautiful, minimalist base crafted from 6 mm thick tempered glass that is back-lacquered to perfectly match the metal framing, giving the entire vertical column a cohesive, monolithic feel.
The Echo Tall Sideboard is an absolute jaw-dropper designed for a home that appreciates high-art design. It replaces the heavy, dark wood framing of old-fashioned curio cabinets with a weightless, all-glass silhouette that lets light flow entirely through your room. It functions less like a storage piece and more like a changing light sculpture—capturing the bright morning sun and throwing soft, geometric reflections across your walls, then softening into a dramatic, glowing focal point in the evening.
