Vintage desk
The desks were mainly made in the middle of the last century from teak or rosewood veneer (also known as palisander). Rosewood is a protected wood type. This means that you can only buy vintage desks with this expressive durable wood type. Interested in a rosewood desk or do you want to know which type of wood suits you best?

Scandinavian design desk
Many vintage design desks are made as freestanding desks, so that it can be a centerpiece in your living room or office. We sell a variety of genuine Scandinavian designs such as classic desks by Nanna Ditzel and Arne Vodder, but also from lesser known or unknown designers. A desk naturally needs a matching vintage office chair. Find matching mid century modern office furniture chairs here.
