Swedish Gray Cream Painted Desk with Five Carved Reeded Drawers, 20th Century

About the Item

A Swedish five drawer desk from the 20th century with gray beige painted finish, carved reeded accents and slightly curving legs. Discover the understated charm of this Swedish 20th-century desk, presenting a harmonious blend of utility and Nordic elegance. Coated in a graceful gray-beige painted finish that exhibits tasteful signs of distressing, this piece narrates its own history through each gentle brush stroke and carefully preserved patina. Five meticulously crafted drawers, adorned with carved reeded accents, offer ample space for organizing writing essentials, stationery, or personal items, ensuring a clutter-free workspace. The artistry extends to the legs, where delicately carved floral motifs bloom at the knees—a delightful surprise that accentuates its provincial allure. This desk's slightly curving legs not only provide a stable foundation but also impart a subtle sense of movement, reminiscent of the gentle rolling hills of the Swedish countryside. Its surface is spacious enough to host a modern computer or to lay out documents, blending seamlessly with the demands of contemporary life while retaining its antique charm. Whether placed in a light-filled study, a cozy corner of a living room, or as the centerpiece of a minimalist bedroom, this desk invites a touch of Swedish craftsmanship into your home. It is perfectly poised to be a writing retreat for literature lovers or a sophisticated statement in a design-inspired space, marrying function with timeless appeal.

  • 20th Century Ico Parisi Wooden Writing Desk with Two Drawers, 50s
    By Ico Parisi
    Located in Turin, Turin
    Ico Parisi was born in Palermo, Italy, in 1916, but as early as 1925 with his family he moved to Como, where in 1936 he graduated as a building surveyor and served an apprenticeship at the Terragni studio. Discharged from the front in 1943, he returned to Como and resumed his design activity, dealing with the creation of individual furnishings, exhibition layouts and interior architecture. He collaborated with Luisa Aiani, whom he married in 1947 and with whom he opened the studio La Ruota.

The culmination of his research is between 1974 and 1976 with "Operation Arcevia," aimed at designing an entire Community. Here we have a wooden desk designed...
