Alkuperä - Provenienssi
This corner cabinet ‘Utö’ in oak is manufactured and marked by Nordiska Kompaniet's workshops and is probably the second example of a pair of model ‘Utö’ ever made in oak. The cabinet was a special commission for businessman Adolf Stålbo in 1932. The cabinet was most likely a part of the complete set of "Utö" furniture exhibited at NK's spring exhibition in 1932, which was acquired by Stålbo.
