Description
The perfect pair of cabinets for the perfect place. It’s rare to find two compact credenzas of this quality and proportion — most units this size are chests of drawers. No fear, you’ve found exactly what you’ve been looking for! Each cabinet spans 35.75″ wide, offering countless possibilities: use them side by side as a double-length credenza, flank a fireplace or media setup, or place them separately to bring balance and warmth to multiple rooms.
These Danish teak cabinets by Lyby Mobler can serve as bars, record cabinets, or simply as elegant storage. Their tambour doors glide smoothly back into the cabinet body along hidden tracks. This is an ingenious, space-saving design that never obstructs its surroundings. The dimensions listed are the full footprint; the doors consume no additional space when open.
Each cabinet features a fully finished back, a rare and thoughtful design element. This allows for fluid placement in open floor plans, where the cabinets can float freely to define zones within a space — or be used back-to-back as a room divider. Inside, each contains a single adjustable and removable shelf, offering versatility for a variety of uses. The Lyby Mobler label and “Made in Denmark” stamp appear on the underside, affirming provenance and authenticity.
We also have several other pieces from this modular Lyby Mobler collection, including bookcases, side tables, and cabinets of alternate configurations. These sibling designs are sold separately — inquire if interested.
Together, this pair exemplifies the understated precision and warm elegance of Danish midcentury design. With tambour doors that slide seamlessly into the body on hidden tracks, the forms read as simultaneously streamlined and sophisticated — eliminating the need for swing doors and allowing the credenzas to breathe in tighter interiors. Their compact footprints belie their structural ambition: fully finished backs mean they may be floated, not just pressed against walls.
The cabinets are modest yet commanding in presence. Their teak veneers, newly refreshed, reveal the richness of grain and subtle tonal shifts that evoke Scandinavian light. Inside, removable shelves provide practical versatility, while each unit’s cavity accommodates media, barware, or collectibles.
Condition: Both cabinets have been refinished, but light wear remains consistent with age and use. Minor indents, faint scratching, and subtle fading appear in spots — authentic evidence of their history without compromising integrity or beauty.
Dimensions (each):
35.375″ Wide × 17″ Deep × 27.625″ High
For collectors of Danish design and lovers of balance in interior architecture, this matching pair bridges practicality and quiet elegance. Whether united as a single statement or dispersed across rooms, they offer the harmony and adaptability only twin pieces can provide.
