ABOUT PRODUCTID 9649
This desk, designed by Danish architect Ib Kofod-Larsen and produced in the 1950s by Swedish manufacturer Seffle Möbelfabrik, exemplifies the essence of Scandinavian mid-century modernism. Crafted from wood in a warm, honey-brown tone with a semi-matte finish, it reveals a distinct wood grain across the entire surface. The rectangular top is supported by slender, gently tapered legs, while two suspended drawer units flank the sides—one large drawer to the left, three smaller drawers to the right. Sculpted, integrated handles and precise joinery with no visible hardware reflect the cabinetmaker’s skill and Kofod-Larsen’s attention to detail. Subtle brass elements, if present, are polished and understated. The desk is in excellent condition following professional restoration, with no visible signs of wear or damage. The form of this desk tells the story of Northern European rationalism of the 1950s, where function met understated elegance. In the slim legs and soft drawer profiles one hears the voice of an era that valued craftsmanship and balanced proportions over ornament. The integrated handles speak to a search for harmony—every detail is intentional, with nothing left to chance. The desk seems to invite focused work, offering a space where aesthetic clarity supports daily tasks. In a mid-century modern interior, the desk could be paired with an upholstered chair on wooden legs or a minimalist geometric table lamp. It would also suit eclectic arrangements, accompanied by muted textiles and organically shaped ceramics. Against light walls and in natural daylight, its lightness becomes prominent, while darker accents lend it a more pronounced character. Pairing it with period accessories—such as a metal clock or simple-framed graphics—would further enhance its historical context.
