Mid-century Sideboard Attributed to Carl Axel Acking

About the Item

This three-section sideboard features sliding doors crafted in teak wood. With an elegant and functional style, this piece combines mid-century Scandinavian aesthetics with contemporary versatility. The three compartments, lockable drawers, and shelves behind the doors provide ample storage without compromising the design's lightness. The vertical lines and subtle play of volumes create a balanced composition, making the upper part visually lighter than the lower section. Details such as teak handles and drawers, a simple sliding system visible on the side, and the finishing of the legs add sophistication to the seemingly simple design. Condition: Very good vintage condition. This sideboard has been carefully restored but may show signs of use and aging. Dimensions: Height: 59.8 inches Depth: 18.1 inches Width: 39.4 inches About the Designer: Carl-Axel Acking worked in the architectural field from the age of fifteen until his death in 2001. Acking was prolific in both architecture, interior, and product design, and is one of the foremost figures of Swedish Modern . Bodafors, the Swedish furniture firm, has been a beacon of contemporary design. With visionaries like Carl Malmsten and Bruno Mathsson, they created iconic pieces. Using primarily woods such as birch and pine, Bodafors emphasized craftsmanship and functionality in their designs, making them symbols of Scandinavian elegance. Their legacy endures as a key influence in the global design landscape.
