Secrétaire à cylindre Andreas Hansen en chêne, années 1970 Hadsten Traeindustri

A timeless piece of Danish Modern design, this roll-top desk by Andreas Hansen for Hadsten Træindustri (circa 1970) exudes refined craftsmanship and functional elegance. Handcrafted from solid oak, it features a tambour-style rolling top that slides open to reveal a meticulously organized interior: multiple small drawers and compartments. The desk’s writing surface pulls out and is inlaid in a very dark brown leather, creating a warm and comfortable space to write or work. Its clean lines, exposed dovetail joinery, and minimalist base reflect the quiet sophistication of Scandinavian design. Andreas Hansen (b. 1936) was a Danish designer known for his versatile work in both lighting and furniture. He started as a cabinetmaker, studied furniture design at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, and even traveled through Italy, working with architects like Mogens Koch and Vilhelm Wohlert. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, he taught at the Royal Danish Academy and designed furniture for several manufacturers — one of which was Hadsten Træindustri, a Danish company celebrated for its high-quality woodwork and mid-century modern furniture. The desk shows normal traces of use; the leather surface shows some light scratches, the wooden top has some light marks. The solid wooden side panels show signs of natural wood movement and shows two fine cracks in the sidepanels. It doesn't affect the stability or functionality of the desk, just a sign of age. The key is not included. HxWxD: 113cm X 112cm X 61cm.
