Swedish teak chest of drawers from 1962, with six graduated drawers and sculpted handles. A refined example of Nordic modernist craftsmanship.
Teak chest of drawers designed by Ingvar & Ekström for Bodafors, dated 1962 and bearing the original maker’s mark. The structure features six drawers of varying sizes, creating a balanced and functional visual rhythm. The solid teak handles, carved with a distinctive flattened teardrop shape, highlight the designers’ careful attention to tactile and material qualities. Bodafors, a historic Swedish manufacturer active since the 19th century, played a key role in shaping Scandinavian modernism by combining industrial precision with high-quality woodworking. The work of Ingvar & Ekström reflects this ethos through restrained proportions, formal clarity and a quiet yet sophisticated material presence, highly regarded by collectors today.
The top shows light signs of wear, consistent with the age and use of the piece. Please pay attention to the photographs.
