Danish Modern Teak Peter Lovig Nielsen Flip-Top Writing Desk, 1975

About the Item

DANISH MODERN PETER LØVIG NIELSEN TEAKWOOD FLIP-TOP WRITING DESK With Lovig Dansk brand to underside Denmark, manufactured in 1975 (marked to two drawer undersides) Item # 306OPB21A This brilliant desk was designed by Peter Løvig Nielsen and originally was offered finished in teak, oak and rosewood. The present example is the soothing teak veneer. We love with this design how Lovig utilizes a hinged shelf on the desk top that flips down, allowing the profile and working space to be flexible - flipping down the shelf allows a much larger desk space, while still allowing all of the shelves to be used for storage and organization. The flipping shelf is comfortably divided with open paper compartments, two with a removable dovetailed box and a series of letters lots. It features four drawers with molded teakwood pulls, two marked on the underside 1975; the opposite of the desk has a few file compartments that end up being hidden from view when the hinged shelf is flipped down. It retains the original Løvig Dansk Design brand markings to the underside. Measurements: 33 7/8" H x 28 7/8" D (when top shelf is folded up), 28 3/4" H x 38" D (when top shelf is folded down); 63 3/4" W Condition Report: 2 keys included. The medial stretcher (back bar between the legs) is replaced and the color is slightly different than the legs. Surface in very good vintage condition with minor scuffs and abrasions, spots of wear and discoloration; the entire surface has been entirely re-oiled. Some minor paint traces to the back edge. Some minor color variation from sun exposure and use throughout. Retains both original removable drawer/boxes.
