About the Item
Trolley by Torbjørn Afdal for Mellemstrands Møbelfabrik Bruksbo, Norway, 1960s
A refined mid-century trolley designed by Torbjørn Afdal for Mellemstrands Møbelfabrik Bruksbo, Norway, circa 1960s. Executed in richly figured wood, the piece exemplifies Afdal’s restrained Scandinavian modern aesthetic, where utility and elegance meet in equal measure.
The upper section features two drawers with sculpted recessed handles, their horizontal grain carefully aligned to emphasize the natural beauty of the wood. Below, an open shelf provides additional storage and display space. Raised on slender legs terminating in castors, the design is light, mobile, and highly functional.
Afdal’s work is celebrated for its architectural clarity and quality craftsmanship, and this piece represents the enduring appeal of his designs for Bruksbo — both practical and timelessly sophisticated.
