Key Details
Few furnishings represent 1960s Scandinavian design as much as the Telephone Bench. Created to accompany a gesture that has almost disappeared today – that of sitting down to make a call – it has become one of the most sought-after pieces of Nordic modern furniture thanks to its extraordinary ability to reinterpret itself in contemporary interiors.
The "Casino" model, designed by Sven Engström and Gunnar Myrstrand for Tingströms Bra Bohag, is one of the most successful examples of this type. The composition integrates a seat, a surface, and two practical drawers into a single element with perfectly calibrated proportions. The asymmetry of the design, a distinctive feature of the Casino series, adds movement to the overall piece while maintaining the sense of order that characterizes the best Swedish design of the period.
Made of teak, the furniture highlights the natural beauty of the wood through continuous grain and a warm amber hue. The lines remain essential, allowing the quality of craftsmanship and the perfect balance between solids and voids to define the character of the design. The two drawers offer discrete space for small items, while the side surface expands the possibilities of use.
Today, the "Casino" Telephone Bench easily fits into an entryway, a bedroom, or a living room, where it can be used as a bench, storage unit, or accent furniture. More than just a simple vintage piece, it represents one of the most iconic designs produced by Engström and Myrstrand for Tingströms, still appreciated today for its construction quality and intelligent design.
