ABOUT PRODUCTID 16762
This container from the Akta Teak collection was made in the 1970s at the Swedish Karl Holmberg workshop in Gotene. The vessel features a smoky, transparent glass body with a gentle outward flare, paired with a honey-toned teak lid and wide matching base. The wood has been smoothly finished to a satin gloss, revealing a pronounced natural grain, while the simple geometric knob atop the lid echoes the object’s minimalist sensibility. Beneath the cover, there is a discreet notch for a spoon or other small utensil. The glass section measures 12 cm in height and 14.5 cm in width, with the interplay of materials and light coloration adding visual depth. The piece is marked and remains in excellent vintage condition, free from any signs of wear, damage, or repair. This design tells the story of 1970s Scandinavian modernism, where natural wood grains and glass transparency defined a new language for everyday objects. Despite its restrained lines, the container quietly expresses artisan precision—the satin sheen of teak offsetting the cool glass, evoking the calm, orderly interiors of the North. It is an object that could have silently witnessed breakfasts, morning light reflecting from its glass surfaces and the warmth of the wood tangible to the touch. The Akta Teak container is well suited for the breakfast table or a kitchen shelf, ideal for storing jam, sugar, or spices. It may be combined with muted ceramics, minimalist jugs, or classic porcelain—its form and color harmonizing a composition in the mid-century Scandinavian spirit. It would also work as a small accent in modern, bright interiors or among a collection of vintage accessories.
