About the Item
Swedish modern design remains popular today due to its clean lines, functionalism, and timeless aesthetic. Ultimately, it offers a combination of beauty and practicality that remains highly sought after, even for contemporary interiors.
With its distinctive structure, this cabinet attributed to Ulf Ekdahl epitomises the mid-20th century era, when material and design would become the lead factors in achieving stability, durability, and of course, an aesthetically pleasing outcome. Therefore, the proportions of this piece are finely tuned to successfully achieve something timeless. The design holds a natural expression with its airy and organic design, which is dominated by the natural look of the wood. The geometric panelling on the cabinet doors accentuates the design further, with this subtle decorative element adding depth and visual interest. The craftsmanship is evident in the precision of the woodwork, reflecting the standards of furniture making at the time. The doors and drawers on the front can be opened with lovely wooden doorknobs. Inside, the cabinet offers storage space and a shelf. Overall the form of this cabinet is not loud, it leaves the focus on the wood and the carvings, yet, it has a stately appearance. As a fundamentally functional type of furniture, this model does more than serve its utilitarian purpose.
Swedish modern – despite its name – in many ways transcends the word “modern”, pieces like this can be incorporated successfully into contemporary and traditional interiors alike, lending themselves to a timeless and universal appeal.

Curio or display cabinets are versatile pieces of furniture that offer a creative way to showcase its owner’s interests and style. This unique cabinet not only serves a functional purpose, but thanks to its unique characteristics, it is a charming and stylish addition to any space.
A glass display cabinet can transform an entire room. A glass display cabinet gives the perfect opportunity to put a collection on display. Books, cards, figurines, art, liquor, and an infinite amount of other trinkets can be put on display in a sophisticated, stylish manner, especially in open designs such as this European cabinet. The solid wooden structure has subtle decorative elements paired with simpler solutions like the straight face frame and top. European cabinetmakers and designers created versatile and functional models from solid wood. This cabinet is an exemplary European 20th century design, with a single shelf in the middle. Dividing the space in two, the shelf makes the design perfect to display anything as the sides are made of glass. This creates a classic look, while the open front allows the most eye-catching detail to stand out: the orange velvet inlay. Delicate objects can be safely stored and displayed on the soft velvet, and visually it creates an accent that draws the eye. The lower part is equally enticing with four thin, Marlborough-reminiscent legs and carved details.
The display cabinet style is designed for displaying curios, which are simply collections and treasured items. With its beautiful wood surfaces and velvet accent shelf...
