About the Item
This robust 1940s Swedish console or chest of drawers, attributed to renowned designer Axel Einar Hjorth, exemplifies the refined simplicity and tactile richness of Scandinavian modernist craft. Constructed in solid pine with a deep, naturally aged patina, the piece carries a powerful material presence—both grounded and sculptural in its expression.
The chest’s clean, geometric lines are balanced by the warmth of the richly grained wood, a hallmark of Hjorth’s celebrated work for Nordiska Kompaniet, where he fused modernist restraint with vernacular influences. The brass fittings, elegantly understated, lend a touch of refinement and functional beauty, offering contrast to the organic texture of the pine.
Hjorth’s influence on early 20th-century Swedish design was pivotal, bridging the decorative traditions of the past with the functional clarity that would come to define Nordic modernism. This piece reflects those values with quiet strength and subtle elegance—an enduring testament to the artistry of the Swedish cabinetmaking tradition during a transformative era.

View All1940s chest of drawers / archive cabinet by Danish cabinet maker. Oak and brass
By Hans J. Wegner, Arne Vodder, Børge Mogensen
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...
