Palle Suenson (1904 – 1987) was one of Denmark’s great, modernist architects in the 20th century. He, as some of his architect peers at the time, designed complete projects - gesamtkunstwerks.

In Aarhus Oil Factory Palle Suenson designed the building as well as the furniture and the lighting. All the furniture for the executive office was bespoke design. And although the building was very modernist it its expression, the interior for the executive office expressed much more warm, exclusive, traditional virtues. This cabinet is handmade by a cabinet maker and in excellent condition.
