vintage norwegian teak hideaway desk

This is an original Norwegian Modern Teak Hideaway Desk in excellent condition. All parts move smoothly, the adjustable light functions perfectly,and  all surfaces display well maintained original finish.  All of the shelving is easily adjustable to offer an array of storage possibilities. This “desk in a box” easily accommodates a laptop with accessories and plenty of space for paper records. There is a drawer beneath the work surface and a handy sliding tray beneath that. The desk closes neatly, but is without the original key. The lock is easily removable, in order to have a key made or to replace the cylinder. This is an all wood piece, no pressed board like the later imitations which are commonly seen. Some of the panels are solid teak, while others are light, strong  fir clad in teak veneer. The trim is solid teak. The interior is veneered with maple .The original plug remains attached to the lamp, dating this piece around 1960.

Mid Century Paul McCobb Desk and Chair from the Planner Group Series

SOLD

mid century modern desk and chair by Paul McCobb Planner Group Series Winchendon Furniture Company
This solid maple desk and chair is from the Planner Group Series by Paul McCobb manufactured by the Winchendon Furniture Company.  This iconic set features long, tapered legs on the right, a beveled edge on the writing surface, and two deep drawers with small, spherical brass knobs.  The writing surface of this piece has been refinished while all other surfaces maintain their original factory finish.  The original tag is adhered to the interior of the top drawer of the desk.  Although the tapered leg dates back much earlier, it was furniture designer Paul McCobb who began using the tapered leg in his designs during the Mid Century Era.  His designs went on to become some of the best-selling furniture lines of the 1950s. The use of this detail helped to define the style that other designers utilized later.  The chair, also designed by McCobb has an ergonomic shape and a seat height of 17.5 inches.
