Description

This fitted birch wardrobe, known as 'Natura', was designed by Oscar Nilsson for Nordiska Kompaniet and made in 1939. Simple and elegant on the outside, it opens on the key to reveal a fitted maple interior with drawer slides and fixed drawers, some with fitted compartments. The interior has fared well over the years, showing only minimal daylight fading, and the piece remains in very good overall condition with two small, photographed imperfections to the door.
