About the Item

A rare and eye-catching Scandinavian cabinet from the 1940s, crafted in rich mahogany and beautifully inspired by Josef Frank’s iconic Flora cabinet. This piece exemplifies the spirit of Scandinavian modern design, where clean architectural lines meet decorative artistry. The cabinet is entirely upholstered with vintage botanical prints, transforming its exterior into a vibrant and poetic display of flora. Each panel is adorned with detailed illustrations of flowers and plants, echoing the romantic naturalism that Josef Frank celebrated in his textile and furniture designs. The warm glow of the mahogany frame and its finely tapered legs add elegance and refinement, contrasting perfectly with the playful, colorful surfaces. Inside, the cabinet offers excellent functionality with spacious storage and shelving, making it ideal as a bar cabinet, storage cabinet, or statement piece in a living or dining room. It carries all the hallmarks of mid-century modern craftsmanship, while its floral decoration makes it utterly unique and timeless. Dimensions: Width: 131 cm (51.6 in) Depth: 44 cm (17.3 in) Height: 119 cm (46.9 in) This 1940s Scandinavian mahogany cabinet is a conversation piece that bridges mid-century modern design, decorative arts, and botanical illustration. A true collector’s item for admirers of Josef Frank, Svenskt Tenn, and Scandinavian modernism.
