Mid-Century Modern Minimalist Teak Desk from Asko Finland, 1960s

About the Item

A very rare desk from Finnish manufacturer Asko. A minimalist design that impresses with its clean lines. The rectangular tabletop is veneered in teak. The simple legs are set off in dark walnut. On the left side, under the tabletop, there is a cube with three pull-out drawers. The fronts of the drawers are veneered in teak. A light-colored wood was used on the inside for better visibility. Like the legs, the round handles are also finished in contrasting walnut. A special detail of this desk is the shelf on the right side. It is formed from a simple frame and is open on the sides. The shelf is mounted with brass screws. The rectangular legs are aligned with the cube and shelf, with the narrow or wide side facing forward. The back of the desk is also incorporated into the design so that the table can be positioned anywhere in the room. The desk is in very good condition with signs of wear and patina (scratches on the surface).
