A very rare pair of high-back easy chairs, a seldom-seen variant of model FH 1517, produced by Fritz Hansen in Denmark during the 1930s.

Defined by their enveloping wing backs and gently sloping armrests, the chairs combine sculptural form with the refined proportions characteristic of Danish furniture of the period. Recently reupholstered in grey linen with contrasting black leather piping, they retain their solid oak block feet.

Villa Kristiansson in Vittsjö was designed in 1959 by Swedish designer Östen Kristiansson as a home for his own family. Known as the founder of lighting company Luxus, Kristiansson created the house as his only architectural project.

The interior reflects the period’s modernist ideals through natural materials, generous windows and carefully integrated furnishings. Details include glazed brick floors, extensive woodwork, built-in storage by Børge Mogensen and Grethe Meyer, and lighting by Luxus.

Preserved largely in its original form, Villa Kristiansson offers a rare insight into Swedish residential design at the transition between the 1950s and 1960s.

Swedish ceiling lamp from the 1950s, combining brass, red-lacquered metal and opaline glass in a distinctive lantern-like construction.

A cylindrical opaline glass diffuser is surrounded by slender red metal rods, creating a graphic cage that becomes especially striking when illuminated. Above, a broad metal reflector with a naturally aged surface catches the light, while small brass details complete the composition. The combination of vivid colour, warm metal and softly diffused light gives the lamp a particularly expressive mid-century character.

Rare dining table, model PK-54, designed by Poul Kjærholm and produced by E. Kold Christensen in Denmark in 1963.

The circular table combines a Cipollini marble top with Kjærholm’s precise brushed steel frame. A six-piece extension ring in solid maple expands the table while introducing a warm contrast to the stone and metal. When not in use, the extension leaves are stored in a custom curved wooden cradle - a refined expression of Kjærholm’s approach to material, construction and function.

Villa Snellman in Djursholm, Sweden, was designed by Gunnar Asplund for bank director Emil Snellman and completed in 1917–18. One of Asplund’s important early works, the house anticipates the Nordic Classicism that would come to define much of Swedish architecture during the 1920s.

Behind its restrained classical exterior, Asplund introduced unexpected asymmetries and a carefully considered interior plan, with rooms arranged to maximize light and views toward the garden. The combination of classical order, subtle irregularities and attention to everyday living makes Villa Snellman an important step in Asplund’s development toward later works such as the Stockholm Public Library.

Bar cabinet with trolley, produced in Sweden during the 1930s. Executed in pyramid mahogany, birch root and glass, the piece is a refined example of Scandinavian Art Deco, combining rich materials with elegant proportions and functional design.

The cabinet features striking book-matched veneer doors and an interior lined in beautifully figured birch root, with dedicated storage for bottles and glassware. Raised on slender legs above a separate trolley with a textured glass top and metal casters, the design balances luxurious craftsmanship with a light and practical construction.

An uncommon set of nine Tati dining chairs, designed by Swedish architect and furniture designer Ralf Lindberg in 1988 and produced by Gärsnäs Möbler in 1995.

Executed in lacquered beech with a striking high-gloss red finish, the chairs combine angular geometry with gently curved seats and wraparound backrests. Their economical construction and exposed structural elements create a light, graphic expression characteristic of late 20th-century Swedish design.

Edvard Heiberg’s own house in Virum, Denmark, was completed in 1924 and later became known as one of the earliest Functionalist houses in the Nordic countries. Inspired by new ideas emerging from Germany and France, the house marked a radical break with traditional domestic architecture.

Heiberg approached the home as a tool for modern life, emphasizing light, functionality and rational planning. Contrary to the image of Functionalism as purely white and austere, the house originally featured a vivid use of color, including green windows and doors set against yellow walls.

Kaleva Church, designed by Reima and Raili Pietilä and completed in 1966 in Tampere, is one of the defining works of Finnish modernism. Conceived as a sculptural composition of soaring concrete forms, the church reflects the Pietiläs’ highly individual and expressive architectural language.

The dramatic interior is defined by tall concrete walls and full-height windows that flood the space with natural light, creating a remarkable sense of verticality. Furnished with Finnish pine, the church balances monumentality with warmth and remains one of the most distinctive religious buildings of the post-war era.
