Svend Aage Madsen Model "200" Desk for Sigurd Hansen Møbelfabrik, Denmark 1950s

Firm believers in Functionalism, Danish designers and cabinetmakers avoided short-lived aesthetic trends, instead they concentrated on crafting with quality materials. This model "200" desk by Svend Aage Madsen is characterised by its functionalist design combined with a modern expression – the epitome of the Danish mid-century modern design philosophy.

With a clear statement of simplicity, quality and respect for materials, this table is a great example of Danish mid century design. The rectangular tabletop is made of wood, yet it maintains a light impression. The surface shows off the grain of the wood, including a beautiful colour variety ranging from light to dark brown. The tabletop also offers plenty of functional space with tapering sides and two drawers. This use of the drawers’ evidences the functionalist mindset that can be traced in almost every element of the lower structure. The warm, honey tone of the wood further enhances its sculptural simplicity, capturing the sense of connection to nature that defined Scandinavian design of the 20th century.

This model “200” desk preserves the value and beauty of master craftsmanship and exquisite materials. Danish designers like Svend Aage Madsen were and still are world-renowned for their unmatched skill that distinguishes mid-century furniture.
