Kerstin Hörlin-Holmquist Scandinavian Modern "Äpplet" Teak Tables

About the Item

Pair of Scandinavian modern teak tables from Sweden. The tables are known as "Äpplet" and are designed by Kerstin Hörlin-Holmquist. "Äpplet" or "the Apple" is a part of "Paradiset" and the Trivia series for NK, Nordiska Kompaniet in Sweden. The two tables are the same and both made in teak. The style of design and material is typical to the Scandinavian modern era with sleek and timeless lines as well as the classic teak wood. They would work well in almost any setting depending on what they're needed for as they are both versatile and elegant. They would be great as either nightstands in a minimalist bedroom or the final finishing touch as a pair of coffee or sides tables. Or somewhere completely different.

NK (Nordiska Kompaniet)

Since its inception, luxury retailer Nordiska Kompaniet, known affectionately to its customers as “NK,” has offered an influential platform for innovators in furniture design. Its department stores in Stockholm and Gothenburg, Sweden, have been home to many of the top names in mid-century modern design and in Scandinavian modernism. Admired for its production of high-quality pieces, it continues to support forward-looking designers.

Nordiska Kompaniet was founded in 1902 through the merger of the companies K.M. Lundberg and Joseph Leja. Its founder, Josef Sachs, envisioned a department store as a cultural arena that would rival the luxury stores of Paris. He opened a flagship store in Stockholm in 1915. Early on, the brand set its sights on quality furniture making, bringing on master cabinetmaker Axel Einar Hjorth, who headed its production from 1927 to 1938.

The Stockholm Exhibition of 1930 was pivotal for both Nordiska Kompaniet and the world of design as a whole. NK’s installation, designed by Sven Markelius, positioned the artist as a key influencer and force majeure of Swedish functionalism.

Nordiska Kompaniet has continued to hire renowned designers throughout its operations, including such luminaries as Carl Bergsten, David Rosen and Gio Ponti. Many iconic sofas, lounge chairs, bookcases and dining room tables from the mid-century modern period originated in its furniture shop. The brand has also been at the forefront of textile, ceramic and wallpaper design, with artists Berndt Friberg, Josef Frank, Stig Lindberg and Elsa Gullberg among those who have contributed to NK’s brand legacy.

To cater to its growing customer base, Nordiska Kompaniet opened a second store in Gothenburg in 1971. Today, NK continues to provide patronage to top designers, remaining a leader in high-end furniture production.
