Product information
A rare Scandinavian sideboard with a removable display cabinet and matching dining set. Asko lines up with the leading 20th Century Scandinavian designers. During the 1970s Asko produced some bold, directional pieces in a range of colours too. All excellent quality and very much ahead of its time. This classic sideboard and dining set would work well in interior schemes like a eclectic mix of great design, a traditional, homespun and whimsical interior, or an ultra modern kitchen/dining space. The doors close magnetically. The dining table is a linear, minimalist piece with a highly original extension design. Matching table. Matching sideboard. Available separately or together.
Established in 1918 by Aukusti-Asko-Avonius, the company originally began as a small carpentry workshop located in Lahti, 100 kilometres north of Helsinki. By the 1930s, the company had developed into the largest furniture retailer chain in Finland and the largest furniture supplier in the Nordic counties. Asko has collaborated with several prominent designers throughout their long history, and on celebrating their 90th anniversary in 2008, Asko also re-released several of their older pieces. During the company’s heyday in the 1960s and 1970s, Asko was a byword for style and innovation and was a pioneer of the Mid-Century - and Danish - Modern movements. Asko Finland
