Mid Century Roll Top Bureau by Egon Østergaard for Svensk Mobelindustri

A beautifully crafted teak roll-top writing desk designed by Egon Østergaard for Svensk Mobelindustri, Sweden, circa 1960s.

This elegant bureau showcases Østergaard’s signature blend of form and function, brought to life through precise craftsmanship and a clean Scandinavian silhouette.

The tambour-style roll-top glides smoothly to reveal an organised interior with five open pigeonholes and three small drawers – perfect for stowing stationery or personal items. The writing surface cleverly extends outward, offering extra workspace when needed without compromising on space. Below, three spacious drawers offer ample storage, all with beautifully dovetailed joints and sculpted wooden handles (distinctive to this particular version).

This example comes complete with the original key and still bears the authentic removers and storers tag, adding a charming sense of provenance and story to the piece.

Østergaard’s designs are celebrated for their efficient use of space and timeless aesthetic—this desk is no exception. Its chevron-patterned teak veneer, gently rounded corners and soft satin finish all speak to the refinement of Swedish mid-century design.

Comes with original key and vintage furniture label.

Excellent restored condition with light age-related patina.

A striking yet practical piece, ideal for those seeking a compact workspace with true Scandinavian heritage. Elegant, functional and endlessly stylish.
