About the Item

An elegant freestanding writing desk designed by Danish designer Henning Kjærnulf in the 1950s. Crafted in rich oak, the piece showcases a tactile warmth through its finely grained surface and clean, streamlined aesthetic. The desk features a simple yet stylish design, with clean lines and minimal ornamentation. The top is spacious and flat, providing ample workspace for writing, drawing, or working on a computer. On the reverse side, a practical open shelf provides additional storage for books, decorative objects, or everyday essentials — making the desk equally functional when placed freestanding in a room. A fine brutalist object that fits seamlessly into various interior styles — from Modern and Scandinavian to Art Deco or Classic environments. With a strong focus on functionality, this design leans toward modernism while embracing warmth and tactility. The Scandinavian design ethos aims to create environments that promote harmony, simplicity, and sustainable living.
