Information

This rare freestanding desk, produced in Denmark during the 1950s by an unknown designer, exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and organic forms emblematic of mid-century Scandinavian furniture design. The piece features a harmonious interplay of materials, combining a teak tabletop with oak legs and brass details, reflecting a careful balance of function and aesthetic appeal.

The desk’s slim rectangular top showcases the warm, natural grain of teak, offering a smooth and elegant work surface. It is supported by sculpturally shaped oak legs positioned at an angular stance, which contribute both visual interest and structural stability. A brass crossbar connects the legs, enhancing the desk’s sturdiness while adding a subtle decorative accent that complements the wood tones. Below the tabletop, the front section incorporates two drawers with minimalistic fronts, integrated seamlessly to maintain the clean lines and uncluttered appearance of the design.

This desk is characterized by its lightweight yet robust construction, making it adaptable to a variety of interior settings. It functions effectively as a workspace while simultaneously serving as a statement piece that highlights the principles of Scandinavian modernism—simplicity, utility, and natural beauty.

The dimensions of the desk are 129.5 cm in width (51 inches), 70 cm in depth (27.6 inches), and 71 cm in height (28 inches).
