The golden brown teak veneer, the rectangular shapes and the organic accents gives this desk all the mid-century hallmarks. The characteristic black metal hairpin legs give a floating appearance to the top and drawer box. All is checked and solid, minimal wear.
The forward-thinking of Dutch designers such as Cees Braakman paved the way of success for a number of Dutch furniture companies. Clearly inspired by designs of Eames, Knoll and Danish furniture makers, Pastoe, Fristho, Tijsseling and many others introduced the use of prefab board into their first line of modern furniture. This modest sized desk would make a great addition Dutch and Danish design furniture by Spectrum, Wegner or Mogensen.
