Yngve Ekström for Westbergs Möbler 'Bangkok' Cabinet in Teak
Yngve Ekström for AB Westbergs Möbler, 'Bangkok' cabinet, teak, beech, mahogany, Sweden, 1950s.
Yngve Ekström designed this charming linen cabinet, beautifully capturing the essence of mid-century design from 1950s Sweden. In every detail, expert craftsmanship is evident, featuring refined carvings and meticulous use of natural materials. One of its defining characteristics are the geometrically carved shapes on the doorpanels. The base revolves around four cylindrical wooden legs, each expertly finished. The open space introduces a lightness and breathability to the design, contrasting with the more solid corpus. The rich, textured grain of the teak becomes the focal point, radiating a warm and natural appeal. In its essential form, material use, and woodwork, this storage unit testifies to Yngve Ekström's skillful integration of organic materials and a timeless taste for the natural, harmoniously combined with modern design.
Yngve Ekström (1913-1988) was a Swedish furniture designer, woodcarver and architect. Ekström was one of the pioneers of what we nowadays call modern Scandinavian furniture. In his designs, he combined strictness with frivolity and elegance with functionality.
