Swedish Grace furniture highlights from showroom preview ahead of Modern and Contemporary auction

Axel Einar Hjorth furniture

Stockholms Auktionsverk, Stockholm’s premier auction house, regularly presents auctions of exceptional art and design pieces. Swedish Grace interiors frequently grace these sales, blending historical significance with timeless appeal. The Modern & Contemporary auction, in particular, spotlights the finest examples of 1920s–1930s Swedish design classics.

Here, a curated selection of standout furniture pieces captures attention. Photographed at the showroom amid fellow auction treasures, these images offer inspiration beyond the objects themselves. They reveal how Swedish Grace harmonises effortlessly with contemporary design, elevating eclectic home interiors with refined elegance.

Elm burl and cherry woods reveal unique patterns—from light golden to dark brown hues. Each piece gains distinct expression and individual character.

Jacaranda wood’s pattern shifts recognisably from golden to brown hues. The intarsia technique accentuates this with inlaid sections along the table’s edge.
