Muut tiedot
The dining suite presented in this sale, consisting of a two-part cabinet, a dining table and eight chairs, has a design language that is typical for Åhrén during the first half of the 1920s, and bears similarities to the glossy black furniture designed by him, executed by Gemla and exhibited by David Blomberg at the Gothenburg Exhibition in 1923. Also worth noting is the structure of the upper cabinet in six fields, which recurs in the magnificent intarsia cabinet that was part of Åhrén's ladies' salon at the Paris Exhibition in 1925, today in the collections of Nationalmuseum in Stockholm (NMK 1/2018). Furniture designed by Uno Åhrén and executed during the first half of the 1920s is exceptionally rare, and the present pieces carries a story about a past youthful love that was highly personal to the architect.
