Arne Vodder Brazilian Rosewood Dresser with Sculptural Drawer Fronts

Creator: Arne Vodder - Sibast Furniture & Co.
Offered by: Hobbs Modern

Description
This exceptional Arne Vodder dresser, crafted for Sibast Møbelfabrik, is a rare and highly sought-after example executed in Brazilian rosewood—a material prized for its dramatic grain, deep coloration, and increasing scarcity. Vodder’s sculptural drawer fronts showcase the wood to its fullest expression: waves of dark, glowing rosewood that shift beautifully in the light, creating an elegant sense of movement across the entire piece.

The dresser features six full-width drawers, each carved with Vodder’s unmistakable organic pulls—functional sculpture that has become one of the designer’s signatures. Behind the rosewood façade, the interior is crafted from solid beech, highlighting the Danish devotion to using noble materials even where they are unseen.

The top drawers include original dividers, as well as a sliding compartment, offering thoughtful organization and a glimpse into Vodder’s meticulous attention to everyday function. Inside, the piece bears its Sibast label, confirming its production by one of Denmark’s finest mid-century manufacturers.

Elevated on tapered legs, the dresser has an architectural lightness that balances its rich materials. Its proportions and craftsmanship make it suitable for a bedroom, entry, dining room, or collector’s interior where standout Danish design is celebrated.

Brazilian rosewood versions of Vodder’s case pieces are exceptionally scarce and continue to appreciate among collectors—both for their artistry and for the impossibility of recreating this level of material beauty today.
