Set of Four "Bungalow" Dining Chairs by Nordiska Kompaniet, Sweden 1923

Creator: Nordiska Kompaniet
Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
Produced in 1923, this set of four “Bungalow” dining chairs by Nordiska Kompaniet is a true testament of early 20th century Scandinavian design principles, highlighted by the chairs’ quiet simplicity and quality materials. The vision and aim of Nordiska Kompaniet, a leading Swedish manufacturer since 1902, was to focus on innovative, forward-thinking designers to create pieces that would elevate Stockholm internationally and rival the grandness of Paris.

Made of premium quality wood, the set references the natural materials that are in abundance in the deep forests of Sweden, covering more than three-fifths of the country. With the designer’s choice of combining different materials, the open structure of the rattan seats adds lightness and airiness to the chairs, perfectly balancing out their durable birch structure. Beautifully woven, the rattan is placed neatly and creates a comfortable seating experience. The carved elements at the end of the front legs, as well as an inward ring just below the rattan seating, adds to the quiet charisma of the chairs. The two back legs, which tilt gently, continue a line into the backrest that is completed by two cross-rails that support the sitter. The precious details in the birch grain of each chair are wonderfully unique, while the set still projects cohesion due to its warm-toned hues and colours. The smooth, clean finish of the chairs brings forth a refined and elegant appearance into the space they occupy.

The classic design of this set is suitable for a variety of interiors; whether placed around the dining table or used individually, these chairs offer a sophisticated and distinct blend of style and comfort, inviting the sitter to slow down and rest.
