Ilmari Tapiovaara KP70 Birch Writing Desk for Keravan Puuteollisuus Oy, Finland
An original KP-70 writing desk designed by Ilmari Tapiovaara and manufactured by Keravan Puuteollisuus Oy, Finland, circa 1950s. A celebrated example of Finnish Scandinavian Modern design, the KP-70 combines clean architectural lines with highly practical functionality. Crafted in beautifully figured birch with a warm honey-toned finish, the desk features a generous writing surface, an open bookcase integrated into one side, and a lockable storage cabinet on the other. Inside the cabinet is one shelf and two pull-out document trays, providing practical storage for paperwork and office essentials. The desk retains its original key, and the lock is fully functional. For ease of transport and installation, the desk disassembles into three separate pieces, making it significantly easier to move than a one-piece desk of similar size. With its balanced proportions, softly rounded details, and timeless aesthetic, the KP-70 remains one of Ilmari Tapiovaara’s most sought-after desk designs, equally suited to a home office, study, or collector of important Finnish Modern furniture.
Dimentions:
Width: in (125 cm) Depth: in (75 cm) Height: in (73 cm)
Condition: Good vintage condition with wear consistent with age and use.
