I just bought this sideboard for 20 euros in obscure second-hand store in France.I like very much how was design.I would appreciate if someone can tell me more about..Who designed ,period etc..or any helpfull tips. There is no markings , accept old sticker saying "EROS" & "Marque depose" Merci, Maria.

I don't know who made it, but for 20 euro, you made out like a bandit! Nice sideboard...I wish I could find one half that nice for that price.
Looks like teak veneer and maybe walnut? Nice combo. Eros...great name too!

Like it!
Epsecially the graphics on the logo.
Looks like an office piece.
'Mad Men Era'
(that's a joke. I'm seeing things listed as such)
So many manufactures made good quality office furniture.
And still do.

I would not
be surprised to find a mini-bar build into an office credenza. While the staff may not be encouraged to have a nip after lunch, the executive suite knows no such restrictions !

It
Definitely isn't Knoll
The quality just isn't there, and the label tells you the manufacturer.
It's a funky looking sideboard, most likely French..and made by 'EROS' whoever they were/are
