Description from the seller

This mid-20th century Danish design console is an exceptional piece that combines Scandinavian sobriety with a touch of structural fantasy. Made from root wood, its surface features organic grains and deep textures that provide a unique visual richness, typical of high-end artisanal finishes in Nordic furniture of the era.

The overall design maintains the clean lines and balanced proportions characteristic of Danish modernism, but incorporates a surprising element: a hidden internal egg as part of the special design. This detail, possibly integrated as a secret compartment or sculptural element, adds a playful and symbolic dimension that breaks with the apparent exterior simplicity. In the context of Scandinavian design, this type of feature reflects the pursuit of functionality with soul, where each piece can hide a story or a surprise.

The stylized, angular metal legs reinforce the modern and lightweight character of the console, while the faceted sides with a marble-like texture provide a geometric contrast that balances the curves of the top. This combination of materials and shapes suggests an influence from both organic design and refined brutalism, which was very popular in Denmark during the 1950s and 1960s.

More than just furniture, this console is a statement of design: understated in appearance, rich in detail, and with a hidden wink that invites curiosity. Ideal for contemporary interiors, galleries, or spaces where furniture becomes functional art.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
