The doors are the largest continuous surface of a sideboard, and too often the least interesting. While designing a new storage piece at the Havune workshop, I began thinking about how a flat door could be brought to life without unnecessary embellishment. The answer came from the material itself: a pattern machined directly into solid wood. As groove follows groove across the surface, light and shadow begin to play with the natural grain of the timber, bringing the whole piece to life. This is how Uurre and Kaarre were born, two distinct expressions of the same sideboard. Uurre features narrow vertical ribs that create a crisp, graphic rhythm across the doors. Kaarre uses a softer, semicircular groove, giving the piece a more refined and classic character.
The product has been awarded the Design from Finland and Key Flag symbols.

Made to your requirements
You can choose the timber species (oak, walnut or ash), the dimensions of the sideboard and the tone of the finish. Every bespoke sideboard is designed together with the customer and crafted from start to finish in Ylöjärvi, Pirkanmaa, near Tampere.
The timber used by Havune is sourced from Finnish suppliers with PEFC/FSC certification, helping to ensure responsible origins and sustainable forestry practices. The workshop is also equipped with solar panels that cover a significant share of its electricity needs, particularly during the summer months.
Why choose a bespoke sideboard from Havune?
Every sideboard is unique. We work exclusively with high-quality solid wood, and every detail is carefully finished by our furniture maker. As a Finnish manufacturer, we can offer a flexible design process and personal service throughout the project.

[ Joonas Sauvula ]
I grew up close to nature in Kalajoki, surrounded by skilled Ostrobothnian craftspeople. Woodworking has been part of my life since I was young, and part of my family history for even longer: my great-grandfather made furniture, handcrafted objects and violins. That same need to turn ideas into tangible objects eventually led me to establish Havune in 2019.
Today, I design and craft solid wood furniture at the Havune workshop in Lakiala, Ylöjärvi. Precise craftsmanship and visual details continue to be deeply rewarding to me. While tradition matters, I also follow contemporary interiors with curiosity. I believe even simple everyday objects should have the presence to become part of the interior while never losing sight of their function.
