Tabwa Sideboard in Teak Off Black by Ethnicraft is a masterclass in how restraint and craftsmanship can coexist. At first glance, the silhouette is clean and architectural. Look closer, and the story reveals itself: each teak door is hand-carved with linear geometric motifs inspired by the Tabwa culture of Central Africa. Every incision is made by an artisan, which means subtle variation from piece to piece isn’t a flaw—it’s the point. Crafted with teak, it's part of Ethnicraft's commitment to sustainable, long-lasting furniture.

The off-black teak finish deepens the grain without hiding it, giving the surface a quiet richness that reads modern, not ornamental. Designed to anchor a room without overwhelming it, the Tabwa sideboard is offered in both a 3-door and 4-door configuration, making it equally suited for living rooms, dining spaces, or as a refined media console. It arrives fully assembled, includes an integrated anti-tipping mechanism for added security, and is intended for indoor use only. Like all hand-crafted Ethnicraft pieces, natural variation in tone and carving is expected and celebrated as a mark of authenticity. Built to last, the Tabwa Sideboard is a long-term investment in both your space and a more sustainable way of living. Available at Comosum.

Ethnicraft is a renowned furniture brand that has been delivering quality, design, and sustainability for over 25 years. Established in Antwerp by two friends, Benoit Loos and Philippe Delaisse, Ethnicraft has expanded from importing Indonesian furniture to producing its own unique collections.

Sustainability is at the heart of Ethnicraft's ethos, guiding every step of its manufacturing process. The brand uses responsibly sourced wood, ensuring it comes from FSC-certified and SLVK-compliant forests, promoting the use of renewable materials. The focus on a circular approach is evident through initiatives like Live Light and Re-Loved, which refurbish and extend the lifespan of Ethnicraft products, reducing waste and offering furniture a second life.

Ethnicraft also actively reduces its carbon footprint. The Serbian manufacturing site uses wood residue for energy, while the Belgian headquarters are powered by solar energy, demonstrating a commitment to green energy and lower emissions. Waste reduction is integral to the brand, with leftover wood and sawdust being reused or repurposed to minimize environmental impact.

Through these sustainable practices, Ethnicraft creates high-quality furniture and accessories that blend form and function, with timeless designs that age beautifully. This commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship makes Ethnicraft a brand that not only enhances your home but also respects the planet.
