About the Item
Brutalist Sideboard in Elm by Olavi Hänninen for Mikko Nupponen, Finland, 1958
This brutalist sideboard is crafted from solid elm and features a simplified design that highlights the natural beauty and grain of the wood. It includes two doors, shelves, and two drawers. The high-leg base adds an appealing touch to the sturdy cabinet. Each door showcases the elm wood's organic and natural appearance, while the drawers are fitted with large metal handles that beautifully complement the stained elm. The sideboard is in excellent original condition, exhibiting only minor wear consistent with its age and use.
Olavi Tapio Hänninen was a Finnish designer and interior architect recognized for his modernist creations, which included furniture, trams, and church silverware. He notably collaborated with Antti Nurmesniemi and Olli Borg on the interiors of the Palace Hotel, where he designed a prominent plastic chair for the café. Before establishing his design studio in 1961, Hänninen worked alongside architect Viljo Revell in the early 1950s, contributing to the Palace Hotel's interiors. He won a gold medal at the 11th Milan Triennale in 1957 and received the State of Finland Award for Industrial Design in 1977. Additionally, Hänninen was an honorary member of the Finnish Association of Interior Architects. A book on his life and work, "Muovituolista raitiovaunuun," was published in 2006.

Large Brutalist Lounge Chairs in Solid Elm, France, 1960s
This exquisite pair of armchairs, crafted in France during the 1950s, draws inspiration from the designs of Finnish designer Olavi Hanninen. The chairs feature a robust solid elm structure with seat and back cushions upholstered in the original fabric. Their generously proportioned design provides exceptional comfort while introducing a distinctive brutalist aesthetic to the living environment. These armchairs are well-suited as striking focal points in various settings, including large living rooms, screening rooms, or office spaces.
The wooden framework is in commendable condition, displaying a pleasing patina. However, it is essential to note that the upholstery exhibits minor signs of wear; thus, reupholstering is advisable before regular use. While the wood possesses some patina, it remains in excellent original condition.
