Vintage Mid-Century Oak Writing Desk with 6 Drawers, Open Back, Kjærnulf style.
This finely crafted Brutalist Oak Desk from Denmark carries the quiet confidence of Danish mid-century design, echoing the sculptural spirit of Henning Kjærnulf.
The iconic wooden legs with their characteristic carvings are slightly different than some of his other works, giving the piece a clear, sharp expression, balanced by its symmetry and large, flat surfaces. It has that Nordic, brutalist / baroque, medieval vibe with real strength, while the squared sides and clean planes offer a modern contrast, making it highly versatile in contemporary interiors.
Made mostly from solid oak with a thick solid top, with veneered sides, back shelf, and underside, it has a warm natural patina that beautifully balances utility and artistry. It features six drawers with original brass ring pulls that glide smoothly, 2 keys including with working locks. Both solid and veneered parts are in excellent condition, preserved by one owner since the 1960s. The top has been lightly sanded and treated with clear wax as originally.
Drawer interiors: 30 × 38 cm (11.8 × 15.0 in) • Leg clearance: 66 × 60 cm (26.0 × 23.6 in)
Rear bookshelf: 130 × 29 cm, tapering to 22 cm (51.2 × 11.4 in, tapering to 8.7 in)
All our furniture undergoes a detailed review in our warehouse. Every item is structurally firm and solid, even though the pieces are vintage or antique and do sometimes display a slight patina, as shown in our photographs.
