treat yourself to a masterpiece of scandinavian furniture. This magnificent svend aage madsen desk dates back to the 1960s.

the organic architecture of this teak desk

this large model is crafted entirely from high-quality wood. Furthermore, it is distinguished by the warmth of its tones. The top offers a generous work surface. A striking raised lip surrounds this teak desk. This famous scandinavian lip prevents objects from slipping. At the same time, it softens the desk's silhouette. The natural wood grain adds a touch of authenticity. It will instantly warm the atmosphere of any living room.

the "double-sided" design of the svend aage madsen desk

however, its main advantage lies in its "center-of-room" design. Traditional furniture is often placed against a wall. In contrast, the back of this svend aage madsen desk boasts an impeccable finish. Specifically, it incorporates a rear display shelf. You can display books or decorative items there. Ultimately, this rare feature offers complete freedom in arranging the desk. You can place this danish piece of furniture majestically in the center of your room.

storage and finishes of this hp hansen desk

aesthetics don't compromise practicality. Indeed, this model offers generous storage capacity at the front. You have eight drawers to organize your documents. Furthermore, sculpted handles adorn each drawer. This sophisticated visual signature emphasizes the fluid lines of this vintage desk. The tapered legs visually lighten the structure. Thus, the piece gives an impression of airy lightness.

condition and restoration of the svend aage madsen desk

we have carefully prepared this collector's item. The desk is in very good condition. Our team sanded and oiled it to protect and nourish the wood, restoring its natural luster. However, it retains some marks that unfortunately could not be repaired during the restoration (a small burn on the top, a dent on one of the drawer fronts, and wear to the veneer on the last drawer on the left side – see photos). The original keys are missing.
