Description
A gorgeous, rare and super-stylish Mid Century bureau secretaire desk by a top Danish designer in lovely vintage condition. Designed by the much-heralded Arne Wahl Iversen and made in 1960s Denmark by high-end firm Vinde Møbelfabrik, this stunning, versatile and achingly cool Model 70 desk will add quintessential Scandinavian style to any interior.
Beautifully crafted from richly toned and exceptionally grained teak wood, this is an exemplary example of Scandinavian design – it marries elegant minimalism with super practicality, all expertly crafted from gorgeous natural materials into a superb space-saving desk.
We love the elegant, stripped back design and versatile nature of this piece. It makes a wonderful modern desk, having a large slide-out main desk shelf and an upper flat top for a computer monitor, with two upper drawers and a cubbyhole for desk items and two large lower drawers, including a lockable drawer with original key. Its compact size will fit most rooms and the upper flat surface ensures it can be used as a stunning console display cabinet-come-sideboard when not being utilised as a desk.
There’s so much design excellence and quality to admire in this superb bureau, which really makes it stand out as a prestigious piece of Danish design: from the graduated waterfall effect of the two surface areas, adjoined by a lovely ski-jump curve, to the use of dovetail joinery and subtly curving corners throughout; from the charming quality of the lower drawer handles to the streamlined, angular upper handles, which match the slanted front of the slide-out desk; from the lovely silhouette effect of the lower front crossbar stretcher to the gorgeous rich colouring and superb grain detailing of the wood, and from the engineered perfection of all the parts to the smooth working of the original key – this fine piece has it all!
All in all this is a stunning, highly versatile, rare and outstanding example of Danish design at its zenith, and whether being used as a bureau desk or a console cabinet, it won’t fail to be a knockout in any setting.
Condition report:
This is in very good vintage condition. Solid, sturdy, reassuringly heavy and expertly built to last, it has the original locking key which works as it should, and two Made In Denmark stamps and one VM for Vinde Møbelfabrik stamp. It has only minor to-be-expected bumps and nicks to show its considerable (pushing-70-years) age. Overall it's a fantastic piece and one of the most attractive and useful Scandinavian bureaus of the Mid Century era, and if well looked after it should be just as fantastic for many generations to come – please see the photos.

Last updated: 17th October 2024
Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.
To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.
Can I cancel an order?
If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?
At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.
Please note that certain items are non-refundable, including those that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to your specific requirements.
Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
How you will be refunded?
Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.
If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
