This awesome piece can be a nightstand. It can be a tiny narrow desk. Or a tiny narrow desk nightstand! Made circa 1970s or 1980s of all teak veneer by Faarup Mobelfabrik in their classic clean lined Scandinavian Modern style. Its simple U-shape with a single drawer and teak handle will complement many décor styles in addition to its Danish design roots, including mid-century modern, modern country, and industrial loft.
Information about Faarup Mobelfabrik is little and far between but we have discerned it was founded in its namesake Danish town by the Hallas family sometime prior to WWII. According the founder’s, Sigurd Halla, sons, Johannes and Einar August, Faarup Mobelfabrik was one of Denmark’s largest producers of fine wood case goods. In addition to their success in Denmark they were exported to the US, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Like most Scandinavian Modern design their pieces were sought after for their high quality, beautiful materials, and classic lines. These classic and beautifully designed pieces came from collaborations with many renowned designers including Ib Kofod-Larsen, Svend Age Larsen, Jorgen Linde, and Kurt Lovig. In 1989 they merged with the Danish Tvilum-Scanbirk Group which has since been acquired by American Masco Corporation.
This will be a great little nightstand/desk for your guestroom. Make it yours!
