Teak structure with four spacious drawers, a sloping writing surface and an open upper section with adjustable shelves. Designed by Bertil Fridhagen for Bodafors, Sweden, 1950s/1960s. Original maker’s mark present. Designed by Bertil Fridhagen for Bodafors between the 1950s and 1960s, this teak bookcase combines a four-drawer base with an open upper section fitted with adjustable shelves. Between the two sections there is an inclined plane, designed to serve as a display shelf. The slender rectangular wooden handles, gently rounded at the corners, discreetly complement the linear design of the drawer fronts. The drawers retain their distinctive green interiors. The original “Bodafors – Design B. Fridhagen – Made in Sweden” mark documents Bertil Fridhagen’s design and its Swedish production by Bodafors. Good condition. It may show signs of age.
