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.

- Low Side Table, Pierre Castignola, Blue, White and Yellow PlasticLocated in AMSTERDAM, NLAmsterdam based designer Pierre Castignola (France - 1995) graduated Cum Laude from the Design Academy in 2018. He aims to have a conceptual background in his work while focusing on a surprising, intriguing and surrealist outcome. His conceptual focus belongs in the perception of the world, with a strong fascination for semiotics and symbols to lead to a radical and critical design. He sets out to redefine the paradigm of creation and consumption. Copytopia is often viewed as the artist’s main body of work. Fascinated by the complexity and symbols surrounding the infamous chair commonly known as monobloc, Castignola employs discarded plastic garden chairs as raw material, which he then cuts and reassembles to constitute a variety of everyday objects. With the use of existing pieces of furniture as part of new ones the artist sets out to question the legitimacy of intellectual property, while simultaneously prompting us to reevaluate our relationship with the objects around us, bringing value back to the ones some might consider disposable. Second piece after the Copytopia armchair and the Copytopia cabinet. The Copytopia low side table incorporate for the second time the use of colors and children sized...Category
