This Scandinavian mid-century modern teak desk exemplifies the clean lines, refined simplicity, and functionality that define Scandinavian design from the 1950s - 1970s. Crafted from richly grained teak wood, the desk stands on elegant tapered legs that give it a light and graceful profile.
It features a well-balanced storage configuration, including three smaller drawers on the right side, a larger locable cabinet on the left, and a central locking drawer with its original key included. The drawers have integrated, sculpted wooden pulls, a hallmark of quality Danish craftsmanship.
A standout feature is the integrated bookshelf at the back, which transforms the desk into a stylish freestanding piece—perfect for open-plan environments.
This piece is a classic example of Danish Modernism, a movement that emphasized the harmonious blend of form and function through natural materials and skilled design, as seen in the work of designers like Arne Vodder, Kai Kristiansen, and Peter Lovig Nielsen.

Note/Disclaimer:
Our images form part of the item's description. Although all efforts have been made to refurbish our furniture to best represent its original state, it must be noted that most of the items we source date from the 1950s to the late 1970s. For this reason, although restored, signs of their vintage condition and age might still be visible. We will typically point out any visible/notable concerns. Take note of all photos or view the item in-store prior to purchasing.
As with most Mid-Century pieces, it is a good combination of solid wood and a high-quality wood veneer. The history of veneer on furniture is a long and honorable tradition, and it depends on the veneer's artistry, condition, and thickness the quality of the old veneer was long-lasting; for this reason, it can be retouched or sanded and refinished.
