William Hinn Sculpted Walnut 8 Drawer Dresser, Made in Sweden, Circa 1950s

$ 12,495
  • Description
    A sculptural masterpiece from Swedish-American designer William Hinn, this rare 8-drawer dresser is a standout example of mid-century modern design at its most refined. Made in Sweden in the 1950s, this piece showcases Hinn’s signature biomorphic lines, impeccable proportions, and exceptional craftsmanship.

    The dresser is constructed from richly figured walnut with deep, flowing grain patterns across the drawer fronts that are visually seamless and warmly organic. Its subtly bowed profile, integrated drawer pulls, and contoured legs reflect Hinn’s innovative approach to form, giving the piece a striking sense of movement and balance. The long, tapered legs elevate the case, creating a floating effect that enhances its lightness and elegance.

    This design is often misattributed to Edmond Spence — a mark of how influential and distinctive Hinn's aesthetic truly was. Stamped MADE IN SWEDEN on the back of the case, this is an authenticated example of one of the rarest expressions of Swedish Mid-Century Modernism available on the market today.

    Professionally restored by the Hobbs Modern team, this dresser has been brought back to its full visual and functional glory, with a silky finish that highlights the complexity and depth of the walnut.

    Perfect as a bedroom dresser, statement piece in an entryway, or a sculptural storage solution in a living space, this is a collector-level piece that will resonate with fans of Scandinavian design and American mid-century craftsmanship alike.
