Designer brothers Uno and Östen Kristiansson always strove to combine on the one side expert workmanship and the very finest materials, with on the other side excellent design and practical usability. This piece, is an excellent example of that philosophy. Although small and low with a very limited footprint, it makes a big impression. The wonderfully rich and exquisite grain of the jacaranda wood contrasted with the strict, almost austere rectangular body, the sharply cubic knobs of the drawers and the brutalist brushed stainless steel legs comes together to form a beautiful, harmonious whole in the hands of the masters.

All of our pieces are original, well travelled in time and space, sometimes from hand to hand more than once. As we find the ensuing patina part of the charm, we strive to bring the objects back to a new cycle of use as gently as possible making only minor, non intrusive alterations such as for instance replacing electric components where needed in lighting, or reupholstering a chair when the fabric is too frayed but the underlying structure beautiful. Please never hesitate to ask if you’d like to know more!
