The original owner was a dentist practising in the center of Stockholm. He acquired an estate on the Swedish west coast, outside Ljungskile where he built a summer house. When the house was completed in 1936 it was furnished with Axel Einar Hjorth's 'Sportstugemöbler' which were very much in fashion at the time. The furniture has remained in the same summer house until now.
