Chair for Nordiska Kompaniets Skönhetssalong (the department store NK's beauty salon), designed by Hans Asplund in 1955. About six were made.
That rug ain't so bad neither.
The interior was most likely designed by him as well, it carries his trademark decorative, organic and costly shapes and materials, obviously inspired by his father - Erik Gunnar Asplund. According to Wikipedia he was employed here between '51-53, though the addition he created to the department store was built between 1961 and '64.

The boxy shape to the left is another addition, an entrance by Bengt Lindroos, built in 1973. This picture don't give these buildings any justice, they're both quite tasteful and sophisticated austere sructures. Maybe, if I'm lucky, Rävjägarn will capture it soon. But the cars are nice tough.
I can't say the above furniture as bad looking.
ReplyDeleteBut I need to buy some modern furniture for my new home.
Låg skönhetssalongen i tillbyggnaden på bilden ovan? Det måste ha funnits många snygga interiörer i det varuhuset genom åren. Från sent 40-talet låg NK Bo i varuhusets gamla elverk eller något i den stilen. Det var en fin lokal som det finns bilder på. Däremot har jag aldrig sett någon bild på skrädderiet, NK:s Franska.
ReplyDeleteStolen är daterad till 55, och tillbyggnaden är från 61-64 enligt Stockholmskällan, så antagligen inte. Där tillbyggnaden nu ligger låg Stockholms första elverk, en vacker byggnad av Ferdinand Boberg. När de huse rev flyttade man den vackra porten till dåvarande elverkets huvudkontor på Tulegatan. Den har du kanske sett? Mer info och bilder: http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunkebergsverket
ReplyDeleteDet är möjligt att NK använde sig av byggnaden innan den revs.
Ja, så måste det vara! Så här såg NK Bo ut: http://www.ravjagarn.se/blogg/tag/nk-bo/
