in id-ing this desk. I've just got this drawing, it's quite simple, looks to be made out of teak and described as being danish.
the handles are routered out, the drawers are fitted against the tapered leg (the second drawer is broader than the top) but
lie a bit deeper.
the top of the desk is flat without any detail.
does anybody recognise these handles, or the desk itself?
Have the chance to pick this up, but it's far away and I haven't got very much info from the seller.
thanks sdr 🙂
it's made in Flash, a program generally used for animations and webdesign. It's like a complicated version of paint (with a timeline above).
Your suggestion is a modern one, no, Heath? I assume 'my' desk is vintage. Nonetheless, the construction is indeed similar. I've always liked this design of leg, where it meets the tabletop in a curve.
would you say...
the desk in the pic is scandinavian produced?
Or would this be an inspired piece made in central europe..
if scandinavian, could this be danish? have you seen something
similar? I think the handles are the only giveaway, and I know I've seen these but can't remember where...
I was thinking these could be swedish, as some of the furniture there was sometimes more austere, simple..
there's a console table
on the radar wich is exactly formed as 'my' desk!
only the handles are different...
I've send them an email, hope this turns into something.
vendor is german, maybe this desk could be too?
I don't think mine is cherry, but it could be roughed up..
When I look back at the desk I now think it could be oak, instead of teak.

The desk looks
Like it has been inspired by the simple haslev tables but i see that yours has fixed legs which can not be removed from the frame which indicates that it may have been produced as a project specific item.
Many times project specific item means that transport to site is only done once and over a short distance so space versus transport costs is not too heavy a burden compared to the continued export of a production line to all over the world.
I could be wrong about the legs on your table but that is my suggestion that the table is closer to home than you think.
thanks Simon
I had the same idea, but it turns out the desk is part of a larger series of furniture produced by Wilkhahn. I got this link from Matthias/ gallery Matkoline.
There were also tables, coffeetables etc. all designed by Hartmut Lohmeyer in a scandinavian inspired style.
Mystery solved!
