About the Item
Beautiful executive desk designed by Torbjørn Afdal for Bruksbo, crafted in Norway in the 1960s. This masterwork of Scandinavian design, exemplifies the harmony of functionality and refined elegance. Made from richly grained rosewood, the desk features a beautifully constructed top with striking horizontal grain and impeccable craftsmanship throughout.
What sets this piece apart are the meticulously detailed joints at the corners, an artisanal touch that highlights the level of precision and care invested in its construction. The legs are subtly tapered, enhancing the desk’s light, architectural presence while remaining grounded in solidity and durability.
The symmetrical layout includes two drawer cabinets, each with ample storage, and louvered fronts that blend seamlessly into the overall design. Original locks and hardware complete the piece with understated luxury.
Timeless and collectible, this desk is not only a functional workspace but also a sculptural statement that showcases the best of Norwegian modernism. An ideal centrepiece for sophisticated interiors or design-forward offices.
This stunning desk is in very good condition, the top is refinished with a high quality UV and water protective lacquer with preservation of authenticity.
