Harbo Sølvsten cabinet
This wall-mounted cabinet, designed by Harbo Sølvsten and produced in Denmark during the 1960s, is a fine representation of mid-century Scandinavian modern design, marked by its refined simplicity and minimalist aesthetic. The cabinet is constructed from richly grained rosewood, which adds warmth and depth to its clean, geometric form. Its rectangular shape is balanced with precise, straight lines, giving the piece an elegant and understated presence.
The sliding doors are crafted from lacquered wood, finished in subtle shades of muted blue and soft green, which adds a gentle contrast to the natural rosewood. These doors are enhanced with discreet leather handles, providing both a tactile element and a visual accent that complements the overall design. The interior of the cabinet is thoughtfully organized with an adjustable shelf, offering flexible storage space for small objects or documents, further reflecting the practical yet stylish approach typical of Scandinavian furniture.
Harbo Sølvsten was known for his ability to create balanced, functional pieces that seamlessly integrated sophisticated details and materials. His designs often emphasized simplicity, functionality, and quality, all of which are evident in this cabinet. It remains in good vintage condition, showing minor signs of wear that are consistent with its age and usage, adding to its authentic charm.
The dimensions of the cabinet are 68 cm (26.8 inches) in width, 30 cm (11.8 inches) in depth, and 28 cm (11 inches) in height.
