An outstanding example of Danish modern craftsmanship, this solid teak bookcase by Peter Hvidt for Søborg Møbelfabrik (1960s) showcases both refinement and utility. Constructed entirely of solid teak — a rarity even in its era — it features Hvidt’s signature clean lines, exposed joinery, and thoughtful proportions. The asymmetric shelving arrangement offers a striking architectural presence while allowing for a dynamic mix of books, ceramics, and decorative objects.
The details speak volumes: exposed finger joints at the corners, beautifully grained teak panels, and round, tapering legs that lift the case with a sense of lightness. Recently restored and glowing with a warm, even patina, it is as functional as it is sculptural. A true collector’s piece, it embodies the uncompromising quality and timeless elegance that have made Hvidt and Søborg Møbelfabrik enduring names in mid-century design.
