Swedish teak and beech sideboard, 1950s-60s

Teak and stained beech sideboard with five drawers and two sliding doors on splayed legs. Sweden, 1950s-60s. Sideboard with an asymmetrical layout: on the left, five drawers with handles carved in a darker wood; on the right, two sliding doors with vertical spindle pulls. The drawers are built with dovetail joints, while the top ends in small raised lips at each side. Stained beech legs, angled and splayed, lift the volume and lighten its presence. Attributed to Bengt Ruda, the first professional designer hired by IKEA in 1957. Good condition. It may show signs of age and use. Please pay close attention to the photographs. AG269
