Severin Hansen writing desk Haslev Mobelsnedkeri Denmark 1958

This iconic desk, model 36, was designed by Severin Hansen Jr. and crafted by Haslev Møbelsnedkeri in Denmark in 1958. A prime example of Danish Modern design, it embodies the perfect blend of functionality, elegance, and exceptional craftsmanship. The desk features a rich rosewood veneer with a beautiful, natural grain, which has been carefully refinished to preserve its original color and the rich patina that has developed over time.

Designed with both aesthetics and utility in mind, the desk boasts four deep drawers that span nearly the full depth of the piece, offering ample storage space. The ingenious use of the same piece of veneer on both the front and sides of the drawers makes them virtually invisible, allowing the sleek form to remain uninterrupted. The floating design of the desk gives it a sense of lightness and modernity, while the clean, straight lines emphasize a minimalist approach to design.

This desk is not only a functional workspace but also a striking statement of mid-century modern style. Its proportions enhance its refined aesthetic, making it an ideal addition to any sophisticated home or interior. The desk is in superb refinished condition and retains its original key, along with the Haslev manufacturer’s sticker on the bottom, further enhancing its authenticity and value. A true testament to the high-quality craftsmanship for which Danish Modern furniture is renowned, this desk offers both style and functionality in equal measure.
