Danish Modern Brazilian Rosewood Platform Floating Queen Bed From W&B – Nordisk

Posted on by

This is a very nice Danish Modern platform – floating Queen-size bed in vintage Brazilian Rosewood. The lines on this are graceful and simple, making it more desirable than some of the more common square box designs. The long side rails are tapered in the middle, and the edges and corners are rounded for a softer look. The headboard and footboard are heavier and better constructed than some beds of lesser quality. This is a nice-quality bed made by W & B Möbler and distributed by Nordisk Andels-Eksport. The bed comes with its original Brazilian Rosewood base, which adds to the “floating” effect.

Four Danish Modern Dining Chairs designed by Niels Moller for JL Møller of Denmark

Posted on by

As far as I am concerned, the original model 78 Moller chair, in Brazilian Rosewood with paper chord seats, is the pinnacle of Danish design. I have often referred to the Niels Møller designed, J.L. Møller model 78 chair as one of the most beautiful chairs in the world. They are graceful and light in design and occupy a room like a fine modern sculpture. Form and function combine in the model 78 to create solid and sturdy setting that is as beautiful as it is practical.

Danish Modern Brazilian Rosewood 8 Drawer Dresser From Kibaek of Denmark

Posted on by

You may not have heard much about the Kibaek furniture company from Denmark as their pieces were so expensive that they priced themselves out of the market many years ago. Kibaek pieces are the most durable and highest quality furnishings I have ever found. I rate the quality of Kibaek items higher than those from Dyrlund or even Torring. The cost of producing Kibaek furnishings resulted in a street price that was simply too high for the market to bear.

This is a wonderful Brazilian Rosewood credenza from Dyrlund, one of Denmark’s higher end furniture manufacturers. I have had a few of these credenzas over the years and my wife has this exact same model in her office. It is a extremely sturdy and very practical storage piece for office or home. Pulling open the left side tambour door reveals a drawer that is designed to be used with hanging files. The drawer has two long scratches on the left front side as seen in the photos. Every one of these credenzas, that I have had in the past, has had the exact same two scratches due to the design of the credenza. It is almost impossible to keep these marks from happening. In one case, I had the front of the drawer refinished and within a week the scratches returned due to the design of the tambour door. Pulling open the right side reveals an open storage space with holes on the sides to support one or two shelves.

Fabulous Near MINT Example of this Iconic 60s Classic

This is a very fine example of the classic and highly collectable sculpted Brazilian Rosewood sofa designed by Knut Saeter (Some resources attribute this to Hans Olsen) and manufactured by Vatne. This fabulous Modernist sofa dates to the early 60s and is in wonderful condition with soft supple leather and a nearly flawless Brazilian Rosewood frame. The original down filled cushions are very comfortable and while naturally wrinkled, the cushions show no sign of cracking, holes, tears or other damage. This sofa was VERY well cared for and is exceptional good condition. I would say that it would be nearly impossible to find an original unmodified sofa in better condition anywhere.
