ABOUT THE ARTIST: Jarl Algot Gustav Törneman, signature P. Törneman, born September 1, 1909 in Vis parish, Älvsborg county, died May 5, 1993 in Stockholm, was a Swedish lawyer and enamel artist, and painter.
Algot Törneman was the son of the well known painter Axel Törneman and Gudrun Høyer-Ellefsen. He studied at the Sorbonne, Stockholm and graduated in law in 1937 in Lund. There he was called P, which stood for “Pappa” (swedish for dad), because he started studying law as a father of two. He then worked for two decades as a lawyer and industrial manager before becoming the curator and artistic director of the Handicrafts in Stockholm 1960–1968 and was secretary of the Konstakademien 1967–1978. He was awarded the professor's name in art in 1977.
Törneman belonged to the small pioneer group at the Gustavsberg porcelain factory that experimented with enamel painting after the Second World War. He mainly worked with sheet enamels that were produced in series as table surfaces for the Nordiska Kompaniet’s Triva-furnitures. He signed his art P.Törneman. He is represented at the National Museum in Stockholm.

NK (Nordiska Kompaniet)
Since its inception, luxury retailer Nordiska Kompaniet, known affectionately to its customers as “NK,” has offered an influential platform for innovators in furniture design. Its department stores in Stockholm and Gothenburg, Sweden, have been home to many of the top names in mid-century modern design and in Scandinavian modernism. Admired for its production of high-quality pieces, it continues to support forward-looking designers.
Nordiska Kompaniet was founded in 1902 through the merger of the companies K.M. Lundberg and Joseph Leja. Its founder, Josef Sachs, envisioned a department store as a cultural arena that would rival the luxury stores of Paris. He opened a flagship store in Stockholm in 1915. Early on, the brand set its sights on quality furniture making, bringing on master cabinetmaker Axel Einar Hjorth, who headed its production from 1927 to 1938.
The Stockholm Exhibition of 1930 was pivotal for both Nordiska Kompaniet and the world of design as a whole. NK’s installation, designed by Sven Markelius, positioned the artist as a key influencer and force majeure of Swedish functionalism.
Nordiska Kompaniet has continued to hire renowned designers throughout its operations, including such luminaries as Carl Bergsten, David Rosen and Gio Ponti. Many iconic sofas, lounge chairs, bookcases and dining room tables from the mid-century modern period originated in its furniture shop. The brand has also been at the forefront of textile, ceramic and wallpaper design, with artists Berndt Friberg, Josef Frank, Stig Lindberg and Elsa Gullberg among those who have contributed to NK’s brand legacy.
To cater to its growing customer base, Nordiska Kompaniet opened a second store in Gothenburg in 1971. Today, NK continues to provide patronage to top designers, remaining a leader in high-end furniture production.
