About the Item

A solid oak writing desk attributed to renowned Danish designer Henning Henry Kjærnulf, blending bold Baroque elements with the sleek elegance of Mid-Century Modernism. This compelling piece showcases Kjærnulf’s signature shaped legs, which bring a dramatic, sculptural quality to the minimalist form of a classic writing desk. Designed in the 1960s, this desk is one of Kjærnulf's more refined creations, characterized by its efficient use of space and wood. The side-positioned legs not only provide structural stability but also highlight the intricate craftsmanship of their Baroque-inspired design, offering a striking visual contrast to the clean lines of the desk. The tabletop remains in excellent vintage condition, with only minimal signs of use. Please refer to the close-up photos to appreciate the light patina and surface character. Completely sturdy and firm, the desk bears minor scuffs and age-related wear, enhancing its vintage appeal. Ideal for a small to medium-sized workspace, this piece is both functional and aesthetically captivating. All components are original. Chair clearance: Height: 69 cm (27.2 inches), Width: 49 cm (19.3 inches), Depth: 46 cm (18.1 inches).
