Model JH585 compact cabinet, designed by Hans J. Wegner and produced by Johannes Hansen in Denmark. Designed in 1954, the JH585 was conceived as a compact telephone table with integrated storage. This example combines a teak case with tapered legs, a black laminate top, open paper shelves, and four drawers with recessed circular pulls and slim steel handles. The raised tray edge around the top, divided storage layout, and carefully shaped shelf fronts give the piece a highly functional design while retaining the refined cabinetmaking associated with Johannes Hansen.
