Teak bookcase by Johannes Sorth for Bornholms Møbelfabrik, 1960s

Teak construction with four adjustable upper shelves and a lower cabinet enclosed by two sliding doors with an internal shelf. Designed by Johannes Sorth for Bornholms Møbelfabrik, 1960s. Designed by Johannes Sorth for Bornholms Møbelfabrik, this teak bookcase is a significant example of Danish design from the 1960s, distinguished by its balance of functionality and clean, understated lines. The upper section features four adjustable shelves, while the lower section is enclosed by two sliding doors concealing a spacious compartment with an interior shelf. A distinctive hallmark of Sorth's design language is the gentle transition between the upper bookcase and the lower cabinet: the curved side panels create a seamless connection between the two sections, visually lightening the structure and giving it an elegant, instantly recognisable profile. The subtly raised top edge and the slender solid wood base complete a composition of balanced proportions, reflecting the high standard of craftsmanship for which Bornholms Møbelfabrik became renowned. Good condition. It may show some signs of age and use. Please pay close attention to the photographs. AG125
