I need help identifying this piece furniture. I don't really know what to call it. It comes from a larger set of office furniture that I picked up. This is the most unique piece. Only marking is a stamped '21' on the inside and on the bottom of each drawer. The drawer runners also have a 1,2,3 stamp. And the shelves have a distinct guide that they slide onto. But that is it. The guy I bought them from said his father brought them back from Norway in the early 70s. Any help is greatly appreciated, even if the style is reminiscent of someone. Thanks!

Nicely constructed. Are those teak skies to the drawers? I've seen those wire 'internal' shelf guides on lots of different pieces, unfortunately.
Have you tried looking through assortments of case pieces for those same handles. I would look for the handles and then very with the drawer sides, and hope you find a marked piece.
Thanks for the help. I haven't looked at any case pieces, where is a good place/method to do that? I haven't had a lot of experience trying to identify anything. I agree that the drawer pulls are the most identifiable thing and would be a great place to start. Where should I start, any suggestions?
Google images. Obvious search terms. Google site search of lauritz, obvious terms, but in Danish instead. Etc. etc.
One of the ironies of this sort of thing is that often by trying to identify a something else you will see what you are looking for. I can't tell you how many times I've identified a sideboard when I went out looking for a chair.
