ABOUT PRODUCTID 11248
This double-sided desk by Bodafors, produced in Sweden at the end of the 1950s, exemplifies the clarity of Scandinavian mid-century modernism. The construction features a rectangular top veneered in warm, medium walnut brown with a subtle reddish undertone, complemented by a lighter, honey-toned wood edge and gracefully splayed, tapered legs. The vertical grain on the sides and front panels adds an organic quality, while the matte-satin finish gives the surface a gentle sheen without gloss. Minimalist brass details—small hinges and locks—are both functional and discreet, in line with the spirit of the era. The symmetrical arrangement of storage on both sides and precise joinery highlight the craftsmanship and balanced proportions of the piece. The desk is preserved in excellent, restored condition, with no visible signs of heavy use.The form of this desk carries the voice of the northern 1950s: Swedish restraint meets the promise of contemporary comfort. Each detail feels intentional—the warm wood tone, rhythm of the vertical grain, subtle brass accents—like morning light in a Scandinavian study. Its double-sided design suggests readiness for dialogue or focused work, creating a space that is at once open and intimate, inviting daily routines of creativity and order.The SMB Bodafors desk can be paired with an upholstered chair of simple, geometric form and a period table lamp to highlight its mid-century heritage. It combines well with a light-wood bookcase, a minimalist wall clock, or ceramic vessels in muted tones. This piece will suit interiors faithful to Scandinavian modernism as well as eclectic collector’s spaces, where it can become an understated, natural focal point. In a modern home office, it is worth combining with soft textiles and plenty of daylight to emphasize its refined character.
