*This piece is in the process of being restored*
A rare and striking example of Arne Vodder’s celebrated cabinet designs, this credenza showcases his distinctive sculptural drawer fronts in a highly sought-after rosewood variant. Most known versions were produced in teak; finding one in richly figured Brazilian rosewood places this piece in a far more scarce tier of Vodder’s work. The wood grain displays deep warmth and a beautiful natural chatoyance, contrasted by the joyful interiors of the drawers in alternating blue and white.
The painted drawer interiors were not merely decorative. Danish designers in the mid-century era intentionally used color to brighten interiors during the long, dim Scandinavian winters, bringing a sense of energy, optimism, and lightness into the home. Here, the soft blue and crisp white play off the organic rosewood, creating a visual rhythm that is both serene and sculptural.
Behind the sliding cabinet doors is generous storage with adjustable shelving, making the piece as functional as it is elegant. The tapering legs and clean case proportions demonstrate Vodder’s unmistakable balance of simplicity and artistry.
Why We Love It:
-
Extremely rare rosewood version
-
Signature sculpted drawer pulls
-
Iconic blue & white drawer interiors to brighten the room
-
Generous concealed storage + display-worthy presence
-
An investment-level Danish Modern centerpiece
This is a standout collector’s piece, equally suited for a dining room, entry, office, or living space where exceptional Danish craftsmanship and thoughtful design can be appreciated daily.
