Chest of drawers
This tall chest of drawers, crafted from solid pinewood, was produced in Sweden during the 1960s by an unknown designer. The piece reflects the minimalist and functional ethos central to Scandinavian mid-century design, focusing on natural materials and clean, understated forms. Supported by slightly tapered legs, the chest achieves a light and elegant profile that contributes to the airy feel typical of the period.
The chest comprises six drawers, each fitted with rounded wooden knobs that preserve an organic and cohesive aesthetic throughout the piece. The sides display a pronounced grain pattern characteristic of pinewood, providing visual warmth and texture that enrich the overall simplicity of the design. This natural grain pattern adds an expressive element to the otherwise restrained form, balancing function with subtle decoration.
The chest measures 56.5 cm in width (22.2 inches), 41 cm in depth (16.1 inches), and 147.5 cm in height (58.1 inches), offering practical storage within a streamlined silhouette that embodies Scandinavian design principles of the mid-20th century.
