Modernist nightstands in massive Pine 1960s in the taste of Carl Malmsten/Hjorth

About the Item

This is a pair of unusual nightstands/ side tables made out of pine. Produced in Sweden around the 1960s. It is in the taste of Carl Malmsten and Axel Einar Hjorth. Carl Malmsten (December 7, 1888 – August 13, 1972) was a Swedish furniture designer, architect, and educator who was known for his devotion to traditional Swedish craftmanship (slöjd) and his opposition to functionalism. He "considered the rationalization of the home according to functionalist principles a debasement of its traditional role as an intimate place for gathering and repose". He was born in Stockholm, Sweden. He was the son of Karl Malmsten and Inez Cadier. Malmsten's career took off when he won a competition in 1916 to design furniture for the Stockholm City Hall (stadshus); in 1917, he exhibited alongside well-known Swedish architects such as Gunnar Asplund and Uno Åhrén. Malmsten founded an eponymous furniture store on the riverfront of Stockholm. In the 1920s he was invited to furnish a room for the crown prince, Gustaf VI Adolf, and his wife Louise in Ulriksdal Palace. He was honoured with an inaugural Prince Eugen Medal for design in 1945.
