Provenance

Brostugan, Drottningholm, Stockholm
Brostugan was built as a bridge keeper's residence during the 1780s after Gustav III had the first bridge built between Kärsön and Drottningholm Castle. The building had this function until 1931, when it was instead renovated and rebuilt into a café under the direction of architect Ivar Tengbom. During this transformation, a new interior with "Sportstuge" furniture by Axel Einar Hjorth for Nordiska Kompaniet, model 'Sandhamn' and 'Sport', also took place.

More information

The Sandhamn model, designed by Hjorth in 1929 is probably the first of the quite a few 'Sportstuge models' that was designed by Hjorth. Sandhamn is the only model that was actually manufactured at the Nordiska Kompaniet workshops in Nyköping.
