AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A rare and cohesive mid-century modern furniture set by Knoll International, embodying the clean, functional Danish/Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic popular in the 1960s to early 1970s. Crafted from warm golden teak veneer with slim black metal legs for elegant modern contrast. The pieces share consistent materials, finish, leg design, and construction—forming a perfectly matched office or home workspace trio.

1. Larger desk setup – Knoll International

Dimensions: 160 cm (W) × 80 cm (D) × 75 cm (H)
Spacious executive-style workspace with a deep teak top, perfect for dual monitors, laptops, or extensive projects (as demonstrated in the photos)
Credenza-like base with teak veneer panels and sturdy black metal frame/legs
Generous under-desk clearance and robust build
Condition: original vintage finish with authentic patina, light surface scratches, minor edge wear, and small marks from normal use (all clearly shown in detailed photos); structurally excellent, no loose joints or damage

2. Smaller desk – Knoll International

Dimensions: 120 cm (W) × 50 cm (D) × 70 cm (H)
Compact writing or auxiliary workstation with a clean rectangular teak top
Single pedestal cabinet base featuring one door (spacious interior storage)
Matching black metal legs/frame for stability and cohesive style
Condition: good vintage condition with natural wear—scratches, patina, and light scuffs on the top and sides; doors and legs fully stable and functional

3. Credenza / Sideboard – Knoll International

Dimensions: 180 cm (W) × 45 cm (D) × 70 cm (H)
Elegant low-profile storage piece with three sliding doors accented by original woven cane/rattan-like panels (providing excellent ventilation and iconic mid-century texture)
Framed in darker teak edges; supported by slim black metal legs
Interior: open adjustable shelving (three levels), practical factory-built construction
Condition: honest vintage patina with light scratches, minor rubs on edges, small dings, and age-related marks (particularly on the top and cane panels – see high-resolution photos); doors slide smoothly, no structural issues

The set bears Knoll International branding (visible on labels/marks as per photos or inspection). This confirms authentic production by the renowned American modernist firm, known for timeless, high-quality office and residential pieces influenced by international design trends of the era.

Condition summary:

Original vintage condition with genuine signs of age and use (scratches, patina, minor scuffs, small edge marks – fully photographed for transparency). No breaks, repairs, missing parts, or instability. Sturdy, fully functional, and ready for immediate enjoyment or gentle refinishing.
