Søborg Møbelfabrik of Denmark was founded in 1890 and has a long history of producing high-quality, Danish-designed furniture. They have a history of collaborating with renowned architects and designers. The company played a key role in shaping the "Danish Design" concept. Søborg Møbelfabrik is still active today. This piece is marked underneath.
This desk is Model 131 and was designed by Børge Mogensen (1914-1972). He was trained as an architect and a cabinet maker. In 1950 he founded his own design studio. His work has been featured in one-man exhibitions in Zurich, London, New York City, Stockholm, Paris and Copenhagen, and his many awards for design include the Eckersberg Medaillen (1950) and the C.F. Hansen medal (1972).
It measures 39.5 x 23.5 x 28.75"H with a knee opening 19.50" wide by 24.50" high.
It is in excellent vintage condition. It has been oiled lightly to relieve it from the Colorado dryness.
This desk features the classic, clean lines you would expect from a classic Danish furniture maker.
