This desk, designed by Svante Skogh for the Swedish manufacturer AB Möbelfabriken Balder in the 1960s, is a prime example of Scandinavian modernism where functionality is seamlessly combined with refined form. Crafted from teak wood in a warm, medium brown tone and finished with a semi-matte lacquer, it highlights the natural wood grain and subtle texture variations. The top rests on slender, slightly tapered legs, while two suspended drawer modules—each with three drawers—feature integrated, sculpted handles in matching teak. Drawer fronts are defined by horizontal grain patterns and small, round keyholes, with meticulous joinery and no visible hardware, underscoring Scandinavian attention to detail. The proportions are balanced and free of excess, true to the design language of the 1960s. Condition: professionally restored, with no visible signs of wear or intervention.

The teak top and finely shaped edges reflect a pursuit of harmony between everyday comfort and understated elegance. Six drawers, almost floating beneath the top, recall a time when design
