This oak chest of drawers, designed by Arne Wahl Iversen in the 1960s, is a rigorous example of Scandinavian rationalist design. The structure is compact and well-proportioned, raised on rectangular-section lateral supports that visually lighten the volume and emphasize its essential architecture.
A distinctive feature is the round handles carved into the front of the drawers: a circular motif with a central horizontal cut that creates a precise and recognizable graphic design. Arne Wahl Iversen was a leading figure in post-war Danish modernism. His work is characterized by formal balance, constructive clarity, and attention to detail, with a constant search for a synthesis between craftsmanship and mass production. This chest of drawers embodies a sober yet sophisticated design vision, where each element responds to a principle of order and coherence.
