Teak furniture from the 1950s and 1960s is known for its iconic design and high quality. This period is considered a golden age for Scandinavian furniture design, and teak became a popular material choice for furniture production during this time.

Scandinavian design is a design aesthetic and philosophy that originated in the Nordic countries, including Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. It emerged in the 20th century as a reaction against the heavy and decorative style that dominated at the time, striving to create functional and aesthetically pleasing objects that were accessible to the people.

Functionality is a central principle in Scandinavian design. The furniture and objects are stripped down and simple in their design, with clean lines and few decorative details. This creates a sense of calm and harmony in the room and provides space for the user to create their own personal style and touch.Show more
