A pair of 1970s solid patinated pine shelves by swedish cabinet maker.

About the Item

This pair of solid pine shelves, crafted by a Swedish cabinet maker in the 1970s, captures the rustic sophistication of Scandinavian design, with a design ethos influenced by the works of Axel Einar Hjorth. The deep patina of the pine—a result of natural aging—imbues these shelves with a rich, earthy warmth, showcasing the wood’s organic character and enhancing its varied grain patterns. With a solid build and refined craftsmanship, the shelves demonstrate an appreciation for quality and longevity that resonates with Hjorth's rustic yet modern approach. The substantial weight and robust construction emphasize functionality, while the refined, rounded edges add an elegant softness to the otherwise straightforward silhouette. These rounded edges make the shelves visually inviting and reveal the cabinet maker’s attention to detail, elevating them from purely functional objects to sculptural elements in their own right. Adding a touch of sophistication, the shelves feature hidden brass fittings designed for wall mounting, a subtle yet luxurious detail that speaks to the craftsmanship and precision involved in their creation. These hidden fittings allow the shelves to float seamlessly against the wall, enhancing the sense of lightness and modernity in their design. Overall, these shelves reflect a harmonious balance between rustic charm and modern elegance, echoing the principles of Axel Einar Hjorth’s designs for the Swedish folk-inspired movement. Their deep patina, minimalist aesthetic, and carefully considered details make them both functional and timeless, a beautiful expression of Swedish cabinetmaking from the 1970s.

1940s chest of drawers / archive cabinet by Danish cabinet maker. Oak and brass
By Hans J. Wegner, Børge Mogensen, Arne Vodder
Located in København K, 84
Mid-20th century Danish craftsmanship, one cannot overlook the exquisite elegance and sacral allure embodied within the masterful work of a 1940s Danish cabinetmaker. This archival chest, crafted with meticulous attention to detail, stands as a testament to the virtuosity and ingenuity of its creator. Fashioned from solid, patinated oak, the cabinet exudes a sense of timeless sophistication, its rich grain and warm hues inviting contemplation. Yet, it is not merely its materiality that captivates, but rather the sacred geometry inherent in its design. The cabinet assumes a form reminiscent of a revered reliquary, its silhouette evoking the solemnity of sacred spaces. At first glance, the cabinet presents itself with an air of modesty, its true grandeur hidden behind two brass piano-hinged front doors. These doors, adorned with a subtle sheen, offer a glimpse into the treasures concealed within. As they swing open with a gentle grace, they reveal a symphony of craftsmanship—a symphony composed of twelve meticulously crafted drawers...
