a true icon of mid-century modern furniture, this freestanding scandinavian teak desk from the 1960s was designed by the architectural duo torben valeur and henning jensen for the renowned danish company dyrlund. Conceived as a danish executive desk, this exceptional piece is distinguished by its airy architecture: its geometric base with refined joinery gives the desk a remarkable impression of levitation.

designed to stand equally well in the center of a room or against a wall, it embodies the warm lifestyle of scandinavian design. On the front, it offers six practical drawers adorned with sculpted solid wood handles. On the back, its large open niche accommodates your finest art books and decorative objects. In a contemporary workspace or a cozy living room, pair it, for example, with one of our vintage gilt mirrors to enhance its golden reflections.

respectful, handcrafted restoration

this piece of furniture has undergone a complete restoration in our workshop:

careful sanding of the entire teak surface.

application of a high-quality protective oil to nourish the fibers and reveal the original grain.

mechanical inspection of the drawers and joints.

condition & patina

this vintage piece, over sixty years old, is in very good overall condition. Testaments to its history and authenticity, some signs of wear and darker areas are visible on the top (fully documented in our detailed photos). These do not detract from its elegance and contribute to the unique charm of a piece from this era.
