Desk
This rare freestanding desk, produced in Denmark during the 1970s, exemplifies mid-century Scandinavian design through its clean lines, balanced structure, and harmonious blend of natural and industrial materials. The desk is constructed from rosewood and steel, combining warmth and texture with a sculptural metal framework.
The tabletop is crafted from rosewood, showcasing a deep, warm grain pattern and a smooth, polished surface. The edges are gently rounded, softening the geometric form for a refined appearance. Below the tabletop, two floating storage compartments are symmetrically positioned on either side, providing practical storage while maintaining an open and lightweight aesthetic. These compartments are finished in matching rosewood and feature locking doors that reveal interior drawers.
Supporting the desk are two angular steel legs with a brushed finish, offering both visual contrast and structural stability. A horizontal steel bar connects the legs, reinforcing the overall construction and enhancing the sculptural profile.
The desk is in good vintage condition, displaying signs of use and a developed patina that contribute to its authenticity and character. This combination of materials and form aligns with Scandinavian modern principles, emphasizing craftsmanship, functionality, and understated elegance.
The desk measures 180 cm in width, 90 cm in depth, and 71 cm in height (70.9 by 35.4 by 28 inches), making it a functional and sculptural piece suitable for a variety of interior settings.
