1950s Swedish Brazilian Rosewood Bowl by Torsten Johansson

Scandinavian modern bowl crafted in richly figured Brazilian rosewood by Swedish designer Torsten Johansson for Formträ AB, circa 1950s. The bowl features a broad, low profile with gently tapering walls that highlight the dramatic natural grain of the rosewood. The wood displays striking dark veining and warm reddish-brown tones characteristic of Brazilian rosewood, creating a highly decorative surface that shifts with the light. Produced during the golden era of Swedish modern design, Formträ AB specialized in sculptural wood objects that emphasized both craftsmanship and the natural beauty of exotic hardwoods. Johansson’s designs are particularly known for their elegant simplicity and refined proportions. Ideal as a centerpiece bowl, fruit bowl, or decorative object, the piece embodies the restrained organic aesthetic that defines mid-century Scandinavian design.
