Nordiska Kompaniet’s department store in Farsta Centrum was built between 1957 and 1960 and served as a branch of the department store on Hamngatan in Stockholm. In addition to a three-storey department store, the building housed offices, storage facilities and a beauty salon. The departments were designed by the American architect Morris Ketchum in collaboration with Hans-Harald Molander.
The department store had an open, American-style layout, while the interior was characterised by Scandinavian design. The furnishings were selected by the Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen, who chose his most modern pieces of furniture. Bertil Brisborg, head of the drawing office at NK’s lighting department, designed a number of light fittings for the project.
