About the Item
Swedish and Scandinavian designers of the 20th century often took inspiration from the beauty of natural world, translated into their use of organic elements in interior spaces. This bench is a perfect example of this, as it embodies the visual benefits of an understated design.
This bench is a testament to the emphasis on simplicity and organic form, prioritising clean lines and unadorned surfaces, embodying the ‘less is more’ principle. The frame is made of birch, mixing the aesthetics of traditional handcraft with international modernism. Featuring fourteen symmetrically-arranged wooden birch spindles—a design trait of Nesto Möbel— that slightly incline backwards, this bench provides a comfortable seating experience. The craftsmanship is evident in the joinery and smooth finish, highlighting the natural beauty of the birch wood. The neat finish also further emphasizes the beautiful grain pattern and warm tones of the wood giving the piece a rich, inviting appearance. The tapered legs follow the practical simplicity of the pins on top.
Benches serve as multi functional pieces, both for their social quality but also as sculptural elements to elevate any contemporary interior space. This bench is an exceptional addition, embodying the natural world and exemplifying the enduring charm and warmth of 20th century design, underscoring the timeless appeal of this iconic design era.

Axel Einar Hjorth "Utö" Bench, Sweden ca 1935
By Axel Einar Hjorth
Located in Utrecht, NL
This “Utö” bench is from the Swedish designer, Axel Einar Hjorth’s Sportstugemöble furniture line.
This bench has a rather simple, yet well-thought out design. The frame is made of pine, mixing the aesthetics of rural, traditional handcraft with international modernism. Produced by AB Nordiska Kompaniet, this bench belongs to Hjorth's line of modernistic cabin furniture from the 1930's. The seat of the bench is thick and robust, with an oval shaped pine board, assuring sturdiness and stability. The symmetrically carved back with a gap in the middle offers comfort and functionality.
The four tapered legs of the bench follow the shape of the backrests on both sides, accentuating the geometrical aspect, and highlighting the symmetry of this piece.
Condition:
In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use.

54.92 in W x 18.7 in D x 31.3 in H ; Seat height 15.55 in
