@amber5. Peter Hvidt and Orla Molgaard-Nielsen.
Maker: Soborg Mobelfabrik. circa 1963
According to the DFI ( danish furniture index)

Since this cabinet (or any similar casework design) does not appear in either the 1964 or 1966 Soborg catalogs, along with it not really matching other Hvidt/Molgaard Nielsen designs, I was a bit suspicious after looking at that DFI entry.
However, 1965 just happens to be one of the few Mobilia years that I have, so I took a look. Sure enough, here is the reference page, no model number given. There are multiple Soborg ads in Mobilia in 1965, but they are all other designs.
@cdsilva, thank you very much for your information!
It is a beautiful cabinet, but I am struggling to understand it's original purpose. Is it for filing documents?
@cdsilva You mention there are multiple Soborg ads in the Mobilia 1965 issue.
Found this Soborg Mobler image with the OP's cabinet stacked on a set of drawers. Is this piece in your Mobilia by any chance? Have searched high and low and cannot find another like it. Thanking you in advance for your time.
As there is a phone number at the bottom maybe @herringbone, with his extensive experience searching vintage Danish telephone directories , might be able to date when that number was used? 😆
Happy Easter to one and all.

@lexi Soborg stopped using the number in 1963. Whatever that means.

@kyle-barrett You definitely rarely see a picture of her alone.

@herringbone. I suppose it doesn't mean a lot in the grand scheme of things but I hate it when a catalogue image is posted with no date. Thanks anyway for the info.
