Sculpture

This rare and large twisted sculpture dates from the 1950s and is crafted from solid pine. The form displays a high level of craftsmanship and precision, suggesting it may be either a unique commission or a limited production piece by a skilled artisan, though the designer remains unidentified.

The pine surface exhibits a warm honey tone with pronounced linear grain patterns and occasional dark knots, emphasizing the natural variation of the material. The sculpture is composed of multiple laminated segments, seamlessly joined and shaped into fluid, continuous curves. The polished satin gloss finish enhances the grain’s visibility and adds a subtle reflective quality. The sculptural contours create a dynamic visual effect, shifting between symmetry and asymmetry depending on the viewer’s perspective.

Its scale and formal language align with the Scandinavian modernist tradition of the mid-20th century, which valued natural materials and organic shapes. While its function is abstract—potentially serving as a decorative object, low seating, or conceptual furniture—the piece embodies the era’s exploration of form as both artistic expression and functional design.

The sculpture is in very good vintage condition, showing minor age-related wear such as small edge abrasions and natural darkening in some areas, none of which compromise its visual appeal or structural soundness.

Measuring 90 cm wide, 70 cm deep, and 50 cm high, it corresponds approximately to 35.4 inches wide, 27.6 inches deep, and 19.7 inches high.
