About the Item

Produced by AB Nordiska Kompaniet, Stockholm. Reverse with manufacturer’s metal label impressed with register number and date NK R33930 - C16 6 31. Designed in 1929, executed in 1931. Material: Birch and ebonized birch. This rare chest of drawers was produced by Nordiska Kompaniet, the prestigious Swedish furniture purveyor which was headed by Axel Einar Hjorth. The form is typical of the designer’s case furniture, and his dual influences of Swedish neoclassicism and international modernism are clearly represented. This piece was produced in limited numbers and for a short time period from 1929 through the early 1930s.
