Information

This rare sideboard, model Trol was designed by Ib Kofod-Larsen and produced by Seffle Möbelfabrik in Sweden in 1958. It exemplifies Scandinavian modernism through its clean lines, functional design, and use of high-quality materials.

The structure is crafted from rosewood, prized for its deep, rich grain patterns and dark tonal variations. The front comprises four doors with integrated recessed handles, preserving a minimalist and uncluttered appearance. Inside, the sideboard is equipped with adjustable shelves and a section of white lacquered drawers, offering versatile and practical storage solutions.

Supporting the cabinet are distinctive V-shaped solid rosewood legs, which provide both structural stability and a sculptural lightness. The meticulous craftsmanship is evident in the seamless joinery and precise detailing, hallmarks of Seffle Möbelfabrik’s commitment to quality production.

Ib Kofod-Larsen, a leading Danish designer, was renowned for his elegant, organic forms and sensitivity to materiality. His designs often straddle the line between functionality and sculpture, making them highly desirable among collectors. Seffle Möbelfabrik, a respected Swedish manufacturer, was known for collaborating with top designers to produce premium modernist furniture.

This sideboard stands as an exceptional example of mid-century Scandinavian design, combining understated simplicity with luxurious materials and expert craftsmanship.

The sideboard measures 244 cm in width, 47 cm in depth, and 72 cm in height (approximately 96.1 by 18.5 by 28.3 inches).
