Desk

Designed by Tove and Edvard Kindt-Larsen for Thorald Madsen. H

Denmark, 1960s

The freestanding desks by Tove (1906–1994) and Edvard (1901–1982) Kindt-Larsen from the 1950s and 1960s, produced by the esteemed cabinetmaker Thorald Madsens Snedkeri, are distinguished by their minimalist elegance and thoughtful functionality. A defining feature is the rectangular top with gently raised edges—a subtle yet characteristic detail that lends the design a sense of refinement and containment.

Tove and Edvard Kindt-Larsen were a pioneering Danish design duo whose collaborative work significantly influenced mid-20th-century Scandinavian design. Both trained under the esteemed Kaare Klint at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, they combined architectural principles with a deep understanding of materials to create furniture, textiles, silverware, and lighting that embodied the essence of Danish Modernism.
