The composition combines a horizontal drawer module with slender supporting legs, giving the desk a balanced architectural expression suitable for freestanding placement in a room.

Six drawers with sculptural aluminium pulls provide practical storage, while the open shelving section on the reverse allows the desk to function effectively as a central workspace rather than only against a wall. This layout reflects the rational and user-oriented approach characteristic of Danish furniture design during the period.

Model EP-401 is recognised for its carefully considered proportions and its combination of functionality and restrained visual presence, making it well suited for home office environments, study rooms or professional interiors.

The desk is presented in good vintage condition.

Minor age-related marks are present, consistent with use and age. The rosewood surfaces show a natural patina and the construction is stable. Drawers slide as intended and the desk is fully functional. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
