Tove and Edvard Kindt-Larsen Cabinet with Original Orange Interior

Tove and Edvard Kindt-Larsen for Seffle Möbelfabrik, cabinet, oak, brass, Sweden, design 1961

Danish designer couple Tove and Edvard Kindt-Larsen designed this sideboard with drawers in 1961. It has a well-structured front with a column of drawers and two doors. The disk-shaped handles in brass characterize this cabinet. The interior is rather surprising. A royal orange lacquer adds a playful look to the clean structured cabinet. The warm color of the oakwood is in harmony with the brass details.

Tove (1906-1994) and Edvardt (1901-1982) Kindt-Larsen are a Danish designer couple. Both of them were trained as architects and had studied under the guidance of Kaare Klint at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. In the beginning of his career, Kindt-Larsen used a combination of shiny, painted surfaces with untreated wood or created one piece of furniture out of several different kinds of wood. However, a large part of his success is due to the collaboration with his wife, Tove. During their marriage and partnership as architects and furniture designers, they were at the forefront of Danish and Scandinavian design. Nowadays they are known for refined, modest design executed with the highest quality materials.
