Axel Einar Hjorth - Utö Dining Chair

Axel Einar Hjorth “Utö” Dining Chairs set of 4 available - price per piece. These chairs, part of the Utö expo designed by Hjorth and produced by Nordiska Kompaniet in Sweden. These mid-century Scandinavian chairs are in a good vintage condition, displaying signs of usage and a rich patina.

Axel Einar Hjorth, known for his work as the lead designer at Nordiska Kompaniet, crafted the “Sportstugemöbler” series, which included the Utö chairs, reflecting a simple character with robust and straightforward shapes in solid pine, deviating from the store’s city interiors.

These chairs, emblematic of Hjorth’s design principles, marry the ideals of the modernist movement with Swedish traditions, resulting in a unique and primitive modernism. Marked by conscious construction aesthetics, these chairs highlight traditional craftsmanship in their joinery and fittings. With spindle backrests and ergonomically carved seats, they exude a design focused on harmony and stability. These Utö chairs were once radical and pioneering, but now stand as status symbols in interiors with an international character.
