Ib Kofod Larsen Teak Credenza with Tambour doors

Creator: Ib Kofod-Larsen
Offered by: Hobbs Modern

Description
This exceptional teak credenza by renowned Danish designer Ib Kofod-Larsen showcases the sculptural restraint and organic elegance that made him one of the great voices of mid-century design. Balanced, architectural, and beautifully resolved from every angle, this piece is a masterclass in Danish craftsmanship.

At the center are smooth-gliding tambour doors, a hallmark of sophisticated Scandinavian cabinetry. When opened, the doors disappear seamlessly into the casework—revealing generous interior storage without requiring any additional floor space. The clean lines and symmetry allow the teak grain to take center stage, glowing with a warm, honeyed patina achieved only through decades of careful preservation and expert restoration.

On the right, a bank of drawers is fronted with integrated solid-teak sculpted pulls—a detail that immediately identifies Kofod-Larsen’s hand. These handles aren’t applied; they are carved directly into the drawer fronts, becoming part of the form rather than an added ornament. It’s a subtle but significant example of the designer’s ability to merge ergonomics with artistry.

Elevated on elegantly tapered legs with cross-stretchers, the credenza feels light yet substantial—a floating effect typical of Kofod-Larsen’s best case pieces. The proportions are generous without overwhelming, making it an ideal storage solution for dining rooms, living spaces, offices, or media setups.
