Pinewood Highboard Cabinet in the manner of Axel Einar Hjorth, Norway 1940s (sold)
Made of pinewood, this cabinet is strong and robust, producing a unique and impressive take on Modernism. This cabinet melds seamlessly with any style thanks to its natural elegance. The pine form is elemental, enhanced by the metal decorative embellishments.
The design of this cabinet is clean and refined, making the pinewood the primary visual focus. However, what adds personality to this cabinet is the array of subtle details, like the metal ornamentation on the doors and key handle. The wide surfaces and the strict, rectangular look are perfect to showcase the artistry of the cabinetmaker, Johan Monrad. Furthermore, the incorporation of eight small drawers is a clever addition of inner storage space.
This cabinet has a stately appearance that is reflective of the works created by Axel Einar Hjorth. Hjorth's aesthetic alludes to both the traditional simplicity of the common people and the radical aesthetics of international Modernism. This highboard cabinet is a testament to the quality of the cabinetmaker’s work.
