In the 1930s the Swedish government legislated for annual vacations and the esteemed company A/B Nordiska Kompaniet began offering pine furniture tailored for this purpose. Many affluent Swedes had previously ordered their living and dining room furniture from the grand Stockholm department store, so it seemed natural for them to turn to the same company for the furnishings of their sports cabins.
Particuarly prolific in the 1950s at NK, 'Berga' series designer David Rosén's continues his illustrious predecessor's (Axel Einer Hjorth) bold and chunky pine aesthetic, with typically handsome cross-section joints and unashamed functionality
