Are there other full size twin pedestal desks like Børge Mogensen's BM66 by Danish designers?

BØRGE MOGENSEN's BM66 is the only full size (i.e. the pedestals reach the ground)twin pedestal desk by a Danish designer I've ever seen - does anyone know if other Danish designers have created something similar in style.

Thanks Leif - Just what I was looking for.
No manufacturer or designer name though, which would make it tricky to go looking for similar items. Was this sort of style desk unusual during the period?

I think you could say this style of desk was uncommon during the period. Can you be more precise about what you are looking for?

Storage is a priority
Thanks to everyone who has replied. The reason why I flagged up the BM66 is because it has loads of storage space, which is what I need. The vast majority of desks of this era are very beautiful (Finn Juhl's diplomat desk being one of my favourites) but tend to have limited storage. Alfred Hendrickx's executive desk perhaps comes closest to combining elegance (those black legs) with practicality but the pedestals don't quite have the storage capacity I'm after.

Jules Wabbes?
Made some beautiful desks in all sorts of exotic woods.
They were mostly designed for big offices and less for private
houses.
High price range though! (5 times the Hendrickx desk & more...)

That's a beauty
but ?10,000+ is definitely out of my price range!

In the UK.
But I'm happy to look Europe-wide provided shipping isn't too expensive. I've seen the BM66 in Denmark for around £2,000 plus another £500 shipping to the UK but ideally I'm after something below £1,500 all-in.

Can't speak to price, but this haste got lots of storage and the classic danish look. Vodder for Sibast
