Arne Vodder Compact Teak Dressing Table – Ølholm Møbelfabrik, Denmark, 1960s A piece born of grace and quiet ingenuity, this compact dressing table was designed by the revered Arne Vodder and handcrafted by Ølholm Møbelfabrik in Denmark during the golden age of Scandinavian modernism, the 1960s. Fashioned from vibrant, warm teak, its grain flows like rippling silk, rich in tone and steeped in the natural beauty so beloved in Nordic design. The composition is both sculptural and poetic. A striking Y-shaped frame in solid teak cradles the main body with elegance and strength, allowing the central box to appear suspended—floating, almost ethereal, as if lifted by a breath of Danish air. This architectural flourish is not mere embellishment; it embodies the Danish principle of form serving function with grace. The dressing table features a thoughtfully arranged bank of five drawers: two larger ones on either side, and three petite drawers nestled just below the original mirror—perfectly proportioned for treasured essentials. Each drawer is delicately crafted, echoing Vodder’s masterful eye for detail and his devotion to refined utility. Modest in scale yet grand in presence, this dressing table is a rare ode to craftsmanship, designed to endure not only in structure but in beauty. A timeless artefact that speaks softly of elegance, tradition, and the enduring soul of Danish design. Dimensions L. 78 cm D. 40 cm Height with the mirror: 113 cm
