ABOUT PRODUCTID 31805
This desk, designed by Torbjørn Afdal for Bruksbo in Norway during the 1960s, is crafted from both solid and veneered teak wood. Its rectangular form rests on slender, square-profiled legs, while the suspended drawer pedestals on each side give the piece a visually light and floating appearance. Each pedestal houses three spacious drawers, all fitted with horizontal handles made from solid teak—one of Afdal's signature details. The drawers are secured by a side lock mechanism that locks an entire section with a single turn. The overall color is a warm, medium teak brown with a satin-matte finish that enhances the natural grain of the wood. The back of the desk is fully finished, making it suitable for placement at the center of a room. The surface is smooth and uniform, with no signs of wear or visible restoration marks. The desk is presented in restored condition—appearing nearly as new. The form of this desk channels the spirit of 1960s Scandinavian modernism—speaking to function and simplicity without sacrificing the elegance of its materials. The teak handles, drawn in a horizontal line like a carefully plotted route, evoke precision and a reverence for craftsmanship. This piece tells a story of an era when workspace was meant to be clear and organized, and when attention to detail was non-negotiable. The soft sheen of the wood reflects a quiet narrative of a time when Scandinavian design was redefining the quality of everyday life. The desk may be paired with an upholstered chair of minimalist form or a mid-century style swivel seat to highlight its origins. It will suit a home office, a living area with Scandinavian accents, or a contemporary collector’s interior. Complementing it with a 1960s table lamp or a graphite organizer can accent
