Danish Modern Dresser in the Style of Ib Kofod Larsen, Denmark Circa 1960s

Creator: Ib Kofod-Larsen (Attributed)
Offered by: Hobbs Modern

Description
A beautifully restrained example of Ib Kofod-Larsen’s sculptural modernism. This low, elongated dresser pairs warmth and depth through its considered use of materials and proportion. The top is framed with subtle side lips, a quiet but refined detail that gives the piece a sense of architecture and intention.

The drawer fronts and top are crafted in Burmese teak, notable for its luminous amber tone and fine, ribbon-like grain. Below, the base, legs, and horizontal stretcher are made of wenge, a dense tropical hardwood native to the Congo. Wenge’s deep espresso-brown tone provides a striking visual contrast to the teak, grounding the piece and giving it presence. Historically prized for its durability and dramatic color, wenge is now considered an endangered species, making vintage examples like this one especially meaningful.

The drawers offer generous storage and maintain the long, horizontal rhythm characteristic of Kofod-Larsen’s casework. The entire piece has been professionally restored, enhancing the wood’s natural glow while preserving its original spirit. Condition is excellent, with only minimal signs of gentle vintage life.

Versatile in scale and tone, this dresser would work beautifully in a bedroom, living room, dining space, or refined entryway.

A timeless and quietly luxurious case piece, with the warm tactility and thoughtful restraint that define the best of mid-century Danish design.
