About the Item

Jonas Bohlin — “Zink” Magazine Stand, Källemo, Sweden, Post-1984 Designer: Jonas Bohlin (b. 1953) Manufacturer: Källemo, Värnamo, Sweden Design Year: 1984 A bold expression of Swedish postmodern design, Jonas Bohlin’s “Zink” magazine stand fuses raw materials with sculptural restraint. Designed in 1984 and produced by the celebrated Swedish manufacturer Källemo, the piece juxtaposes a slender, minimalist birch wood frame with a grounding solid cast concrete base—a signature contrast that reflects Bohlin’s architectural training and his fascination with tension between balance and mass. Tall, graphic, and elemental, the “Zink” stand blurs the line between function and object, offering vertical storage for books, magazines, or printed matter while commanding presence as a sculptural form. Its clean lines and tactile materiality make it a favorite among collectors of radical Nordic design, postmodern interiors, and art-furniture hybrids. Highly collectible and rarely seen outside Sweden, this example presents in very good original condition, with minor wear consistent with use and light abrasions to the base that enhance its material honesty. Condition Report: Minor surface wear consistent with age Small chips and abrasions to the concrete base Structurally sound and visually clean overall Very good vintage condition
