Item Description

An exceptional Times bar cabinet designed by Torbjørn Afdal and produced by Mellemstrands Møbelfabrik, Norway, during the 1960s. A refined example of Scandinavian modernism, the cabinet showcases Afdal’s characteristic balance of clean architectural lines, understated elegance, and outstanding craftsmanship. Beautifully crafted in richly figured wood, the design features a meticulously finished exterior that opens to reveal a thoughtfully appointed interior with storage for bottles, glassware, and bar accessories. This piece remains in exceptional, all-original condition, with a beautifully preserved patina that reflects careful ownership over the decades. The original finish retains its depth and warmth, highlighting the superb quality of the timber and construction. Such well-preserved examples are increasingly difficult to find. A highly functional statement piece that works equally well as a bar cabinet, drinks cabinet, or sophisticated storage unit, and an excellent addition to any collection of important Scandinavian design.
