Kaare Klint Mahogany Desk with Pull-Out Writing Surfaces, Designed 1949
About the Item
Writing desk by Kaare Klint, crafted in mahogany with a profiled edge on the tabletop and an apron with three drawers: a wide central drawer flanked by two smaller drawers, each equipped with a pull-out writing surface for added functionality. The desk features its original brass fittings, locks, and keys. A particularly elegant detail is the fine profiling around the drawer fronts, writing surfaces, and apron edges, as well as the beautifully shaped legs that give the desk its distinctive and sophisticated design. The top has been professionally restored.
Designed in 1949 and produced by Rud Rasmussen.
Kaare Klint (1888-1954), often referred to as the "Grand Old Man" of Danish design, was known for his pioneering approach to furniture design, where function and aesthetics were seamlessly integrated. Considered the founder of the Danish modernist movement, Klint set the standard for what is now regarded as classic Danish craftsmanship. He had a unique ability to combine simplicity, elegance, and functionality, which is clearly reflected in this desk. Today, his designs are highly sought after and appreciated by collectors and design enthusiasts worldwide.
