Set of Four Nordiska Kompaniet Dining Chairs in Pine, Sweden 1909

Creator: Nordiska Kompaniet
Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
Featuring clean forms without exaggeration, this set highlights the quality of work produced at Nordiska Kompaniet in the early 20th century. They are crafted from pine - a valuable material used in furniture manufacturing thanks its natural grain that guarantees that each piece is unique. This characteristic is especially important in the case of this set of four, as each chair is unique, but together they still form a gorgeous set.

Humble in their material and design, the chairs draw attention thanks to their distinctive look and personality. The construction strips back the unnecessary, showcasing only essential elements. The pine wood is left in its natural form as much as possible, while also prioritising functionality and longevity. Pine furniture has been favoured in Scandinavia for centuries and we are witnessing a contemporary renewal of interest and appreciation for it as well. While they showcase deliberate plainness, these chairs still have a welcoming look. The sole form of ornamentation in the design is found in the backrests of each chair where two planks of wood are constructed into a ‘T’ shape, creating an airy look. The high backs and seats also provide plenty of surface to expose the beauty of the wood. Furthermore, the ingenious use of joinery in these chairs is noteworthy, highlighting the structural integrity of the pieces.

These chairs are in line with the Swedish ideals of functional furniture. However, they also portray a sense of tranquillity that is unique to Scandinavia. This set is sure to bring this sense to any space while providing stability, sitting comfort, and natural beauty via its material.
