Häkli chest of drawers
Elegant Scandinavian Modern secretary chest manufactured by Häkli in Finland during the 1950s. This versatile and beautifully proportioned piece combines a chest of drawers, writing desk, and display cabinet into a single compact design, reflecting the functional elegance for which Finnish mid-century furniture is renowned.
Crafted in richly figured teak veneer with contrasting lighter wood details, the cabinet features softly rounded edges, tapered legs, and refined brass ring pulls. The lower section offers three spacious drawers providing ample storage, while the upper section incorporates a practical drop-front writing surface that transforms the piece into a compact desk.
Behind the upper cabinet doors is a thoughtfully organized interior with shelving, document compartments, and additional storage space. A glass shelf adds visual lightness and functionality, making the cabinet equally suitable for use as a writing bureau, drinks cabinet, or display piece. The drop-front desk creates a generous work surface while maintaining the clean and compact silhouette of the cabinet when closed.
The restrained design, warm teak tones, and elegant proportions exemplify the Scandinavian Modern aesthetic of the period, balancing practicality with timeless form. Pieces by Häkli are increasingly appreciated for their quality craftsmanship and distinctive Finnish interpretation of mid-century design.
A highly functional and decorative piece, ideal for use in a living room, study, bedroom, or home office.
Dimentions:
Width: 31 in (80 cm) Depth: 17 in (44,5 cm) Height: 43 in (109 cm)
Condition: Good vintage condition with light wear and patina consistent with age and use.
