About the Item

'Sportstugemöbler' corner cabinet, designed by Göran Malmvall. Produced by Karl Andersson & Söner in Sweden, 1950s. Made from dark stained pine. Interior with two shelves, single door with vertical reliefs. The cabinet has been expertly restored. Dimensions: Height: 88.5 cm / 34.84 in Width: 91 cm / 35.83 in Depth: 56.5 cm / 22.24 in This corner cabinet is part of Göran Malmvall's renowned 'Sportstugemöbler' ('sports cabin furniture') series, a collection of minimalist wooden furniture he designed for country homes. Produced in pine by Karl Andersson & Söner between 1936 and 1955, the 'Sportstugemöbler' series includes various tables, storage units, and seating furniture. Göran Malmvall (1917-2001) played a key role in shaping Swedish furniture design during the 20th century. The youngest son of Karl Andersson, founder of the renowned Karl Andersson & Söner company, Malmvall was immersed in the world of craftsmanship from an early age. Under the mentorship of the renowned Swedish designer and architect Carl Malmsten (1888-1972), he honed his skills in furniture design, ultimately becoming the principal in-house designer for the family business, a role he maintained until 1982. Although he received formal design training, Malmvall was largely a self-taught cabinetmaker, blending technical precision with a distinctive sense of innovation. His bold approach to design is evident in several celebrated collections, including the highly collectible 'Svensk Fur' ('Swedish Pine') and 'Svitjod' series, the '553' pine chairs, the '322' sofa, and the 'KA 72' cabinet series (introduced in 1972), alongside various other furniture pieces. These works exemplify Scandinavian craftsmanship, reflecting Malmvall's minimalist aesthetic with clean lines and functional design, all of which are well-documented in general design literature. Founded in 1898 by master carpenter Karl Andersson in the village of Berghem, between Huskvarna and Gränna, Karl Andersson & Söner quickly built a reputation for creating furniture that was both durable and elegantly crafted. More than a hundred years later, the company continues to uphold this tradition, designing and manufacturing high-quality pieces in their state-of-the-art Huskvarna facility.

Vintage Göran Malmvall furniture reflects the skill and precision of a craftsman focused on geometry and sumptuous simplicity. The Swedish designer's tables and case pieces are sleek and striking, with elegant, clean lines that emphasize the function-first sensibility typically associated with Scandinavian modernism. An adept cabinetmaker with considerable technical expertise, Malmvall created furniture that is widely loved by design enthusiasts all over the world.

Malmvall was born in Berghem, Sweden, and was the youngest son of Karl Andersson — the master cabinetmaker and founder of the reputable furniture company Karl Andersson & Söner. Malmvall grew up on the small family farm in Berghem with his ten brothers and sisters but was so frequently in the factory that he often slept there. At the young age of 17, he became a foreman on the production floor and, eventually, factory manager.

Early on, Malmvall showed a considerable talent for design and began studying furniture-making in his spare time. He took design courses near his hometown, and he was brought into the family business at a young age. Malmvall furthered his studies under the tutelage of Carl Malmsten, a prominent designer and educator associated with Swedish modernism.

Malmvall became an integral part of Karl Andersson & Söner and one of its leading designers. In 1972, he created the iconic KA72 series of storage cabinets — a completely customizable system that can be purchased with solid-wood or glass-front doors and open shelving. The KA72 collection is still available from Karl Karl Andersson & Söner today and is versatile enough for any room in the home.
