  • Description

    This stunning teak bureau is an elegant offering from one of Denmark’s finest furniture makers. It was designed in the 1960s by the famed furniture designer Arne Hovmand Olsen. It features three drawers with beautiful handles that sit beneath a drop-down 'desktop'. Further storage space and two small drawers sit within the bureau, along with a small but beautifully shaped little letter rack to the right hand side. It’s the perfect option for you and your laptop, with plenty storage provided. Mogens Kold has a legacy for crafting some of Denmark’s best furniture. This elegant, highly functional bureau is no exception.

    Danish furniture maker Mogens Kold Mobelfabrik produced some of the most coveted furniture of the mid 20th century. The revered Danish Furniture maker collaborated with some of Denmarks leading architects and designers to produce high end, progressive furniture that is highly sought after today. Arne Hovmand-Olsen, Ib Kofod Larsen and Nanna Ditzel are just a few of the big names that have collaborated with Mogens Kold to create timeless Danish masterpieces.

    The history of Mogens Kold can be traced back to 1914 when the Kold family established the Kerteminde Steam Sawmill and Vognfabrik. After a fire in 1925, head of the family, Martin Kold moved the company to Copenhagen’s port area and developed it into the country’s largest hardwood sawmill.

    In 1950, Martin’s son Mogens Kold, established Mogens Kold Mobelfabrik. The company quickly gained a reputation for its high end furniture designed by leading architects and designers. After a fire in 1958 Mogens Kold moved the company to a much larger factory and focused on exporting furniture to Europe, the UK and the burgeoning American market. Mogens Kold was always very interested in the process of design and in 1972 was involved in creating one of Denmark’s first design centres. In 1986 Mogens Kold handed over the business to his son Soren Cold. Unfortunately in the following year international sales plummeted and by the early 1990s the company was forced to cease production.

    Dimensions – H119cm x W96cm x D45cm
