More information
This is most likely the first 'Panik'-cabinet executed.
The story goes that Sandell was asked by the restaurateur PG Nilsson to make something from a wrongly ordered glue joint when at the time they worked together with the interior of the Restaurant 'Rolfs kök' in Stockholm.
When the mistaken order was discovered PG screamed 'Panic!'. Thus the cabinet was later named 'Panik' (panic). The cabinet came to receive a lot of attention. Supported by his fellow architect Jonas Bohlin, Sandell decided to make a limited edition of the cabinet. All Panik-cabinets in the series were signed and numbered.
