Extremely Rare Mid-Century Scandinavian ‘Ola’ Desk & Chair by John Texmon

An extraordinary and incredibly rare piece of Scandinavian design history, this iconic ‘Ola’ desk was designed by Norwegian interior architect John Texmon and produced by the acclaimed Blindheim Møbelfabrikk of Norway in the 1960s. Pieces like this rarely come to market — a genuine collector’s dream and a stunning centrepiece for any interior.

The Ola desk is immediately captivating — its sculptural raised gallery shelf, dramatically curved side panels, and beautifully warm teak grain make it one of the most visually arresting mid-century desks ever produced. Texmon’s genius lay in combining breathtaking aesthetics with genuine practicality, and the Ola delivers both in abundance.

The desk is presented here with a beautifully crafted mid-century teak chair of the period, featuring a sculptural curved backrest and original black leather seat pad. The two pieces sit together effortlessly — a cohesive and utterly timeless pairing that is as stunning in a contemporary home as it is in a vintage-inspired interior.

A generous desktop surface offers real working space, while the upper shelf and full row of storage drawers keep everything beautifully organised. Elegant curved sides and slender tapered legs give the piece its signature timeless silhouette — refined, purposeful, and utterly distinctive.
