Cappellini Sideboard Uni

Storage for considered workspaces

Cappellini Uni sideboards offer a choice of storage formats for offices, meeting rooms, reception areas, and other professional interiors. Designed by Piero Lissoni in 2000, the collection pairs metal construction with matt-lacquered finishes and a restrained visual character that can work across a range of workplace settings.

Use the collection to organise items that need a place in shared or client-facing rooms, while choosing a configuration that suits the space and how it is used. Colour options listed for the family include beige, black, grey, brown, white, and pink; availability can vary by model.

Choose a format to suit what you store

The Uni family includes a three-drawer sideboard as well as door-fronted models in two-, three-, four-, and six-door configurations. Some models include shelf details: one two-door version has crystal shelves, while another has mirrored shelves, a drawer, and legs.

Details are not identical across the range. Cylinder locks are specified for the four- and six-door models, so compare each model’s features and dimensions before deciding. The listed cabinet heights range from 49 to 122 cm, and depths from 45 to 46 cm.

Where Uni sideboards can work

Match the format to the room’s role. In a meeting room, a sideboard can keep frequently used items together and help maintain a clear table. In a reception area or shared office, a door-fronted model can provide enclosed storage for supplies or belongings. A drawer-led configuration may suit items that benefit from quick, separated access. These are possible uses rather than a fixed prescription: consider what your team needs to store and how often it needs to be reached.

For a more display-oriented arrangement, look at the two-door model with crystal shelves or the version on legs with mirrored shelves and a drawer. The shelf and base details differ, so check the individual listing to confirm which configuration fits your intended use.

How to choose between the models

Start with capacity and access

Decide whether drawers or cupboard doors better suit the items you plan to keep inside. The collection includes a three-drawer sideboard and door-led options with two, three, four, or six doors. A larger number of doors can help organise a wider storage unit into sections, but it is worth checking the specific model’s overall dimensions and internal arrangement rather than assuming the usable space from the door count alone.

Check the room and model details

Compare the listed heights, which span 49, 67, 85, and 122 cm across the family, and the depths of 45 or 46 cm. These figures are collection-level ranges, not dimensions for every model; confirm the measurements for the exact configuration before planning its position. Also account for circulation space, nearby furniture, and how the doors or drawers will be accessed.

Finish, features, and next steps

The listed cabinet material is metal, with matt-lacquered finishes described across the range. Colour options shown for the collection include beige, black, grey, brown, white, and pink. Confirm the finish and colour available on the selected model, especially if you are coordinating with existing workplace furniture.

If a lock matters for your setting, note that cylinder locks are specified for the four-door and six-door models. Other differences include crystal shelves on one two-door model and mirrored shelves, a drawer, and legs on another. Verify each feature in the product details rather than assuming it is shared across the whole family.

Before selecting, shortlist models by storage format, dimensions, finish, and any required features, then check the individual specifications. Myntwork offers Cappellini Uni sideboards on a monthly lease, which can be considered when planning furniture for a professional space.
