Roland Wilhelmsson Bench, An Early Model "Zink", Dated 1972, Swedish Modern

About the Item

A striking example of Swedish mid-century modern design, this early model “Zink” bench, designed by Roland Wilhelmsson in 1972, showcases a sculptural aesthetic carved from solid pine. Signed "Form; Zink - Ågesta, Jan 1972". The solid pine has developed a rich, warm patina over time, enhancing the natural grain and character of the wood. A beautiful example and a great brutalist object for the modern interior. A warm color and patina that pairs well with the minimalist Scandinavian lifestyle. Scandinavian design is characterized by a minimal, clean approach that seeks to combine functionality with beauty. Its focus is on simple lines and light spaces.

Roland Wilhelmsson “Kvadrat” Coffee Table, Sweden 1970s
By Roland Wilhelmsson
Located in Utrecht, NL
Designed by Roland Wilhelmsson, this “Kvadrat” table is from the era when Swedish design and culture started attracting design-conscious international buyers on a large scale. The model’s design is dated to 1972, and this particular table was manufactured in Huskvarna, where the manufactory still operates, for more than four generations now. Swedish furniture and interior design culture went through dramatic changes during the 1970s. The effects of the late 1960s’ rebellious view of design, production and consumption had an impact in the form of freer furnishings and resource-efficient furniture in simpler materials. In the mid-1970s, rustic pine furniture often in oversized dimensions - such as this table - suddenly became the highest fashion.
