About the designer : 

David Rosén was a Swedish furniture designer active primarily in the mid-20th century who helped shape the look of Scandinavian modern design. He trained at Konstfack, the University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm, and soon after graduation began a long career with Nordiska Kompaniet (NK), the prestigious Swedish department store and design house, where he worked for decades and became one of their key designers. His work is rooted in the ideals of Scandinavian modernism: simplicity, functionality, fine craftsmanship and proportion. Rosén designed a range of furniture including case goods, tables, chairs and accessories, often constructed with high-quality materials like teak, beech, walnut or mahogany, and frequently incorporating subtle details in brass or leather. Among the better-known series credited to him is the Futura collection, developed around 1949 for NK. Rosén’s pieces are characterized by clean architectural lines and an understated elegance that balances utility with refined aesthetics, reflecting the post-war Swedish design ethos. Many of his designs from the 1940s through the 1960s remain collectible today and appear at auctions and in vintage design markets. Biographical records vary a bit on his dates, with some sources suggesting a birth year around 1898 and death in 1986, while others list 1910–1993, but all agree on his importance within mid-century Swedish design and his long association with Nordiska Kompaniet.
