Vintage Design
Exceptional Scandinavian sideboard of the Danish designer Kurt Østervig made by Brande Møbelfabrik.
Kurt Østervig is probably one of the most recognized Scandinavian designers.
His work is centered on wood; the very essence of wood represents for him the heart of all furniture.
During the 1950s and 1960s, he designed remarkable pieces, notably enfilades, some of which have been exhibited in major museums such as the MoMA in New York.
This enfilade is made of teak wood and has a light patina.
It is composed of 4 sliding doors and 3 drawers.
You can easily see the symmetry of the wood grain on these doors.
This is the result of an exceptional work of cutting the rosewood veneer.
The 2 doors on the left reveal a series of 6 drawers lined with green felt on the far left and a shelf with a mirror next to it. These two parts are separated by a partition.
The 2 doors on the right reveal a large compartment without partition with 2 shelves.
Underneath is a large central drawer and 2 smaller ones on the sides.
The grain of the wood is magnificent, especially on the top and the ribs where the knots and veins of the rosewood blend together to form beautiful patterns.
The furniture has a beautiful finish on the frame or handles.
Moreover, the color contrast is subtle, the lines are minimalist and the proportions are elegant.
This is without a doubt an exceptional piece of work in every respect.
As is often the case, the Danish furniture control pad has come off.
The bottom has been changed so the stamp of the manufacture is no longer visible.
