About the Item

This mid-century bureau was produced in Germany in the 1950s and is crafted entirely from solid teakwood. The piece combines storage and writing functions in a compact and well-balanced design, characteristic of postwar European furniture focused on practicality and clean lines. The bureau features three drawers that provide organized storage, along with an extensible writing desk that allows the piece to function comfortably as a workspace. The upper section is designed as a secretary, concealed behind a rounded folding door that closes smoothly, maintaining a clean and uncluttered appearance when not in use. This curved door detail adds visual softness while reinforcing the craftsmanship of the piece. When open, the desk surface sits at a height of 72 cm, offering an ergonomic working position. The full depth of the open desk measures 69.5 cm, providing adequate space for writing or reading activities. The solid teakwood construction ensures durability and highlights the natural grain of the wood, giving the bureau warmth and material depth. Designed as a functional yet refined piece, this bureau is suitable for use in home offices, living spaces, or bedrooms. It represents a practical example of mid-century German design, combining solid construction, thoughtful proportions, and versatile use.
