Designer
Nordiska Kompaniets verkstäder (the Nordiska Kompaniet workshops) were a Swedish manufacturer of furniture and lighting fixtures for the department store Nordiska Kompaniet (NK) between 1904 and 1973. The company had its factory in Nyköping and was once the city's largest industry. In the workshops, both specially commissioned and serially produced furniture were executed. During the 1920s, NK's workshops produced interiors for many public buildings including the Concert Hall in Stockholm and the offices of the Swedish Match Company. From the 1930s and onwards, commissioned interior design projects were an essential part of the workshops' output. The architect Carl Bergsten was chief architect at the workshops between 1917 and 1921, and Axel Einar Hjorth held the position between 1927 and 1938.
