Mid Century Dresser by William Hinn for Urban Furniture made in Sweden c 1950's

About the Item

Exceptional Mid Century Exoskeleton eight drawer dresser, designed by William Hinn for Urban Furniture, made in Sweden, circa 1950's. The dresser features two banks of four drawers, which boast vibrant book matched crotch walnut veneer, sculptural exposed legs, and an elegant elongated concave front. Know as the Exoskeleton series, this iconic design is much sought after and not often seen on the market. Simultaneously graceful and impressive, this rare statement piece will be the star of the show, wherever you decide to place it. Minor wear to the veneer, a couple of small spots have been filled and toned, please see images. As is often the case with these long mid century dressers, this one has a very slight sag in the middle, not structural or consequential. Please view the companion dresser, and night stands we have listed separately on 1st Dibs.
