About the Item
This is the Swedish Modern side table in walnut stained birch by Otto Schulz.
It comes with a round tabletop, beautifully veneered in birch, displaying a refined geometric pattern.
The table has four elegantly turned, baluster-shaped legs supported with a linked cross construction.
The piece displays balanced proportions and fine craftsmanship.
The underside of the tabletop is burn-marked “Boet”, and it retains a small red-and-white label reading “SVT Sveriges Television Rekv. GBG”, indicating its provenance.
The table previously belonged to the Swedish Broadcasting Corporation, SVT, in Gothenburg, where it was part of their film and studio prop collection.
____________________
Heinrich Albert Otto Schulz was born on December 3, 1882, in Salzwedel, Germany.
He was a somewhat contrary architect and designer who today, about 50 years after his death, is regarded as one of Sweden’s most accomplished figures in modern design.
Schulz studied at the Technical University in Charlottenburg from 1900 to 1907.
One of his most important teachers was Alfred Grenander, a Swedish architect best known for designing more than 70 underground stations in Berlin!
Through Grenander, Schulz moved to Sweden in 1907 for an internship. He received training and later employment as a draftsman with Selander & Söner in Gothenburg, and ultimately decided to settle down there.
In 1910, he established his own practice, specializing in interior design.
In 1917, Schulz received the prestigious commission to design the interiors of Bräutigam’s Confectionery, and in 1920, together with Adolf Nordenberg, he founded the furniture and interior design company Boet, with a showroom located at the corner of Kungsportsavenyn and Kristinelundsgatan in Gothenburg.
The store functioned as a comprehensive interior design shop with an inspirational exhibition room on the floor above.
As a brilliant complement to his store and showroom Schulz published his own magazine, “Boet”, which between 1927 and 1938, was both influential and widely read, covering topics such as home culture, craftsmanship, and industrial design.
Otto Schulz not only designed furniture and lighting.
He also created numerous public interiors and several ship interiors.
He patented three manufacturing techniques: “Bosaik”, a moisture-resistant mosaic surface treatment; “Botarsia”, a decorative wood technique using brass pins; and perhaps the most renowned, the pearl-nail decoration known as “Bopoint.”
Much of Otto Schulz’s history and work is documented in the book “Otto Schulz: Furniture and Interior Design 1910–1950.”
Otto Schulz passed away on February 14, 1970, in the Vasa Parish of Gothenburg.

Otto Schulz
Throughout his career as an interior and furniture designer, publisher and founder of the Swedish furniture company Boet, Otto Schultz was a key figure in promoting mid-century modern Scandinavian design.
Born in Germany in 1882, Schultz moved to Sweden in 1907, where he became interested in designing furniture and interiors. In 1920, Schultz founded his furniture company Boet in Gothenburg, where he created functional and traditional designs featuring quintessential elements of Scandinavian furnishings. Around the same time, Schultz started the design and living magazine Boet, which published articles and profiles highlighting Sweden’s most influential architects and designers. He served as Boet’s publisher and editor until 1938.
During the 1930s, Schultz created a range of opulent Scandinavian modern and neoclassical furniture, including cabinets, secretaires and side tables, using fine woods like elm, birch, mahogany and walnut. Many of his pieces showcased his patented use of decorative nails called Bopoint.
He was best known for the Schultz lounge chair, which he designed in 1936. Its voluptuous design featured a generous seat and a large, curved backrest and it was upholstered with a luxurious blend of alpaca and wool. The Schultz chair was highly popular in Sweden in the 1940s. While Boet originally produced it, Swedish furniture manufacturer Jio Möbler took over its production in 1941.
Schultz operated Boet until his retirement in 1950. He died in 1970. Today, Schultz’s pieces are favorites among interior designers and collectors seeking a mix of modern Scandinavian simplicity and lavish decorative style.
