This teak chest of drawers designed by Ingvar & Ekström for Bodafors, dated 1962 and bearing the original trademark. The composition is punctuated by six drawers of different sizes, a solution that introduces a measured and functional visual rhythm. The handles, carved from solid wood with a distinctive flattened teardrop shape, reveal an almost artisanal attention to tactile detail. Bodafors, a historic Swedish manufacturer active since the 19th century, was a leading exponent of Nordic modernism, combining industrial precision with the quality of wood. Ingvar & Ekström's work follows this tradition, favoring balanced proportions, formal simplicity, and a refined material expressiveness, which is now particularly prized among collectors. The top shows minor signs of wear, consistent with the item's age and use.
