Chora Sideboard 192×45

Design

The Chora Sideboard 192×45 presents a clean, horizontal stance that settles easily into a room without shouting for attention. Designed by Mariateresa Casarola, its proportions feel calm and deliberate, with a long top that invites a considered edit of objects. The silhouette is poised on a slender metal base, giving lift and lightness while keeping the profile streamlined. It reads contemporary, yet warm, and sits comfortably among pieces collected over time.

At 55.9 in wide and 17.7 in deep, the cabinet offers presence without overwhelming a wall. The 33.5 in height keeps surfaces in easy reach, making it as practical as it is composed. It’s the kind of piece that quietly organizes a space and anchors the look around it.

Materials & Build

A wood and aluminum frame gives the sideboard its balance of warmth and structure. The metal base in graphite plays against natural wood grain, creating a subtle contrast that feels current. Fronts are offered in graphite with natural teak or graphite with palissandro, each option bringing its own character—sun-kissed teak for a relaxed tone, palissandro for a more tailored mood.

The build is straightforward and solid, with the weight—about 176 lb—conveying stability once placed. Edges are clean, joins precise, and the overall finish disciplined, reflecting Talenti’s focus on materials that age well and remain consistent across a collection.

Comfort in Use

Everyday interaction matters, even with a sideboard. The top sits at a comfortable height for plating dishes, laying out a bar setup, or curating books and ceramics. Access feels natural, with generous interior volume for tableware, linens, or those objects that need a discreet home. Nothing fussy, nothing overdone—just straightforward storage that works.

The surfaces stand up to regular use and keep their poise. And the proportions make styling simple: a lamp, a framed piece, a bowl—done.

Placement & Lifestyle

In a dining room, it serves as a composed buffet and a clean backdrop for service. In a living space, it grounds a wall with art above or sits under a television without competing for attention. It also reads well as a calm credenza in a studio or office. Scale is friendly to apartments yet substantial in larger rooms, bridging different aesthetics with ease.

Graphite with natural teak leans casual and coastal; graphite with palissandro skews more urban and tailored. Either way, it plays well with upholstered seating, stone, and matte metals.

Longevity

Durable by design, the mix of wood and aluminum keeps the piece steady over time, while the finishes are chosen to look better with regular care. A protective cover is available when needed, keeping surfaces pristine between uses or during a move.

As part of the Chora collection by Talenti, it aligns with pieces that share the same quiet rigor—made to support daily life, hold its shape, and stay relevant as the room evolves.
