Hi, is this bed really designed by Hvidt/Mølgaard?

I have my doubts.

And this desk designed by Arne Vodder? Never!

Yes the bed is Hvidt & Mølgaard for Søborg.  The desk is a fairly late production maybe even 1980s. It is doubtful that any architect drew it.

Thanks Leif, in the meantime I found an attribution of the bed to Borge Mogensen.

A research in the DFI was unfortunately without result.

There are many examples of this desk online, quite a few of them in The Netherlands and Germany.  Almost all say they are made in the 60's and designed by G.V. Gasvig for GV Mobler. A couple of them included shots of this mark.  This is all seller info so who knows how much is true.  There is an old thread that discusses Vodder attribution but does not provide much info.

The bed is not a Mogensen.

And those G.V. Gasvig attributions have absolutely nothing to support them and they don’t make much sense considering that GV Gasvig would be GVG but the mark is only GV.

Hvidt and Molgaard-Nielsen.

Dealer attributions are meaningless without verified documentation.
