Table & chairs Nordiska Kompaniet, Sweden 1950s

SOLD

A blonde wood dining set produced and sold by Sweden’s prestigious Nordiska Kompaniet (NK) in the 1950s. The table and four chairs use simple lines and traditional techniques. The beechwood-framed chairs (one carver and three side chairs) have laced papercord seats woven in a traditional rush pattern and are remarkably similar in design to Kaare Klint’s 1936 ‘Church Chair’. The table top is finished in ash veneer with a marquetry border detail over a pine core and has tapered legs made from solid beech that can be unbolted for tranport and storage. There are two drawers with original locks and keys along one of the long sides of the table.

Nordiska Kompaniet was created by merger in 1902 in Stockholm and still occupies the building designed for it by Ferdinand Boberg in 1915. NK set out to be the premier department store for luxury goods and interiors in Sweden to rival stores in London and Paris and specialised in luxury furniture in the 1930s producing many designs by Axel Einar Hjorth. It later developed a more popular modern range of ‘knock-down’ furniture, Triva created by Lena Larsson, Elias Svedberg and Erik Worts.
