There is no mark, so being sold in the manner of... A sought-after investment piece, it features an exceptionally long and lean profile that spans approximately 94.5 inches (240 cm), making it a perfect focal point for expansive wall spaces in dining rooms or living areas. The cabinet is celebrated for its "floating" aesthetic, where the main teak body appears to hover over a geometric sled base thanks to an ingenious hidden support system.

This specific sideboard is absolutely stunning, having been completely professionally refinished to showcase the rich, vibrant teak grain in its best possible light. The exterior design is defined by clean, handleless lines, featuring two large cupboard sections with adjustable shelving and a distinctive bank of three graduated drawers. Unlike some variations, these drawers are a prominent external feature of the piece, adding both functional storage and a rhythmic horizontal element to the minimalist facade.

Craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the intricate joinery to the fully finished back, which allows the piece to be "floated" in the center of a room as a sophisticated room divider. Authentic examples of this model are highly collectible and rarely come to market in such pristine, restored condition. Whether used as a grand media console or a classic dining room buffet, this MK511 sideboard represents the pinnacle of 1960s Scandinavian luxury.
