Notes
Omann Jun Møbelfabrik was founded in 1933 by Andreas Omann. He began with the production of beds and dining tables and then from the 1950s, started producing desks and sideboards in teak, oak and rosewood. Omman's two sons Gunni and Bjarne took over the company in 1979 and Ulrich Omann who is third generation took over from them in 2005.
The desk is crafted from teak veneer with solid wood details like drawer pulls and legs. Teak is valued for its durability and attractive grain patterns. The freestanding design of the desk allows for versatile placement in a room.
