Kurt Østervig bar cabinet
This rare bar cabinet with tambour doors was designed by Kurt Østervig and produced by K.P Møbler in Denmark during the 1960s. It represents the Scandinavian modern ethos of clean lines, functional design, and superior craftsmanship.
The cabinet is constructed from rosewood, exhibiting a rich and striking grain pattern that adds visual depth and warmth. The tambour doors slide smoothly to reveal an interior equipped with mirrored panels, glass shelves, and dedicated compartments designed for bar storage. Brass hardware accents provide an elegant contrast to the dark wood tones. Additionally, a pull-out tray offers extra surface space, while the cabinet rests on tapered legs that enhance its refined proportions and contribute to a light, airy aesthetic.
