Pair of Nordiska Kompaniet Stools/ Side Tables in Solid Pine, Sweden, 1940s

Description
This rare pair of stools/ side tables was produced by Nordiska Kompaniet in Sweden in the 1940s. The tables are made of solid pine wood with a natural and beautiful patina acquired over time. The design is marked by the three-legged pedestal base and the circular top. The pair can function as stools but also work really well as small side tables. The production of Nordiska Kompaniet is closely connected to the work of Axel Einar Hjorth and David Rosén during this period. With his highly original strand of primitive modernism, they were able to combine a farmhouse simplicity with a functional, modernist idiom. Executed in simple materials such as pinewood and oak, the designs were particularly catered to furnishing the summer and leisure cottages of the Swedish customers at the time, therefore earning the name ‘Sportstugemobler'.
