About Shak Gallery
My Swedish/French husband and I have been collectors for many years. Now based in Brussels, Belgium, we'd like to present with this gallery, a few of our favorite midcentury furniture items. Our name is a mix of our last names sheridan/åkesson. Our focus at first is Scandinavian Modern and the Swedish Grace period. Later this year a focus will be on Japanese Modernism, Women designers of the 20th century, Mexican design of the 20th century and finally a selection of Contemporary design.
