Set of Six Chairs by Nordiska Kompaniet, Sweden, 1928

About the Item

These chairs were made in 1928 for the Swedish Department Store Nordiska Kompaniet, or NK. The set features two carver chairs and four side-chairs. These chairs are strong examples of the transition from the Gustavian period into a more refined Scandinavian Modern design vernacular. A rattan seat is boxed in by a generous Ash frame with a deep honey patina. Nordiska Kompaniet's commitment and ethos of skilled craftsmanship is emphasised through the structural properties, as well as the details that follow around the chairs.
