Beautifully proportioned and extraordinarily well constructed, this is a superb example of Danish Modern cabinetry and the attention to detail that distinguishes the work of Hvidt \u0026amp; Mølgaard-Nielsen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe sideboard is crafted in \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ebeautiful old-growth teak\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, displaying rich, warm color and expressive natural grain throughout. One of its most striking details is the construction of the case itself: \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eexposed finger joints run along the corners\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, creating a subtle decorative rhythm while openly celebrating the craftsmanship and joinery used to build the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe front combines a bank of five drawers with a pair of beautifully ribbed \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003esliding tambour doors\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e. The tambour doors disappear neatly into the cabinet when opened, revealing a spacious interior with an adjustable shelf. The doors have been carefully serviced and lubricated and now operate smoothly and effortlessly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe five sculpted drawer pulls are beautifully integrated into the drawer fronts rather than applied as separate hardware, maintaining the clean, organic character of the design. The \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eupper drawer is felt lined and divided for flatware or smaller objects\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, while the lower portion incorporates \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eextra-deep double-height storage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, giving the cabinet considerably more practical capacity than its restrained exterior suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe case rests on an elegant solid teak base with slender cylindrical legs and distinctive angled stretchers. These architectural details give the substantial cabinet a remarkably light appearance, almost allowing the case to float above the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis example has been \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eprofessionally and comprehensively restored\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, bringing the old-growth teak back to its rich original character while respecting the integrity of the vintage construction. The tambour mechanisms, drawers, joinery and surfaces have all been carefully addressed. It presents beautifully and is ready for another generation of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMore than simply a storage cabinet, the Model 309 demonstrates what makes the best Danish furniture of this period so desirable: \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eexceptional materials, sophisticated joinery, sculptural details and highly functional design\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e. From the finger-jointed case and ribbed tambour doors to the sculpted pulls and beautifully engineered base, there is something worth appreciating from virtually every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA true \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eheirloom-quality piece of Danish Modern design\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e by two of Denmark’s most important mid-century designers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e Peter Hvidt \u0026amp; Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e 309\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e Søborg Møbelfabrik\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e Denmark\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e 1960s\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e Teak\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e Professionally restored; excellent vintage condition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eDimensions: 65.375\" x 19\" x 34.125\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hobbs Modern","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50507026759733,"sku":"HM-260924-807","price":9495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/5534\/3925\/files\/LargePeterHvidtandOrlaMolgaard-nielsenCredenza-15.jpg?v=1792539438","url":"https:\/\/hobbsmodern.com\/products\/peter-hvidt-tambour-door-credenza","provider":"Hobbs Modern","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
