Information

This rare sideboard or bureau was designed by Børge Mogensen and produced by Søborg Møbelfabrik in Denmark during the 1950s. It exemplifies mid-century Scandinavian design through its clean lines, functional layout, and use of premium materials.

Crafted from teak, the piece showcases a rich, warm tone with prominent wood grain that highlights the natural beauty of the material. The design features six spacious drawers—three on each side—equipped with integrated recessed handles that maintain the minimalist aesthetic. The drawers provide generous storage, making the sideboard both practical and versatile.

Elevated on slender steel legs, the piece balances the warmth of teak with a contrasting industrial touch, emphasizing the mid-century modern ideal of material juxtaposition and functional elegance. The steel legs lend the sideboard a sense of lightness and visual openness.

Børge Mogensen, renowned for his pragmatic and understated furniture designs, focused on marrying craftsmanship with practical use. His collaboration with Søborg Møbelfabrik resulted in well-made, timeless pieces that stand as icons of Danish modernism.

The sideboard measures 150 cm in width, 46 cm in depth, and 87 cm in height (59.1 x 18.1 x 34.3 inches). It is in good vintage condition, showing minor age-appropriate wear, retaining its authentic character and charm.
