About the Item

A refined example of Swedish Modern design, this rosewood and mahogany cylinder rolltop desk by Egon Ostergaard for Sven Mobelindustri was crafted in Sweden during the 1960s. The beautifully curved rolltop showcases richly figured rosewood grain, opening to reveal an elegant mahogany interior with small drawers and compartments accented by white pulls. The pull-out writing surface offers a practical workspace, while the three deep drawers below provide generous storage with inset handles that maintain a streamlined profile. Balancing sculptural form and functionality, this Swedish Modern rolltop desk reflects the understated elegance and exceptional craftsmanship of mid-century Scandinavian design. Retaining its original key, it is both a collectible and highly functional piece, ideal for an office, library, or living space where compact elegance is desired.
