by MCM-SF
A rare and striking Model 68 secretary desk, designed in the 1960s by the influential Danish designer Arne Wahl Iversen for Vinde Møbelfabrik. Crafted from richly grained rosewood, this piece is captivating from every angle, showcasing refined details such as hand-carved solid teak handles and beautifully sloping inner drawer boxes.
The desk features a cleverly designed drop-down writing surface, two spacious lower drawers (including one with a functioning lock and key), and a series of cubbies and smaller drawers in the upper section—offering abundant storage and organization in a compact footprint. Its versatile design makes it ideal for apartments or smaller spaces, without sacrificing elegance, functionality, or Danish modern style.
Arne Wahl Iversen (1927–2009) studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen under Kaare Klint, the father of Danish modern design. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Iversen created timeless pieces for several Danish manufacturers, but he is best known for his celebrated works with Komfort and Vinde Møbelfabrik. Today, his designs remain highly sought after for their craftsmanship, modern elegance, and enduring appeal.
