In 1912, farmer Anders Andersson built a large and lavish property on Nybrogatan. It is here that the history of Nordiska Galleriet begins, which will become an obvious destination for exclusive furniture and modern design.
After the construction of the building in 1912, the Auktionshallen opens in the premises at Nybrogatan 11. The original intention was to organize quality auctions for art and antique furniture, but the idea was scrapped and they switched to selling high quality antique furniture instead. The store's large space is eventually supplemented by the sale of cars, creating the somewhat odd combination of selling antique furniture and modern cars under one roof.
However, car sales were discontinued when Anders Andersson's nephew Carl-Otto Heigard took over the company in 1929. Heigard instead complements the furniture store with an art gallery and in 1933 establishes the name Nordiska Galleriet to reflect the new focus of the company. The company AB Nordiska Galleriet was registered the same year, which is the limited company that still runs the business today.
In 2016, Axel Söderberg buys the company, launching another era of renewal and modernization of Nordiska Galleriet. With a focus on quality, knowledge and service, much of Nordiska Galleriet's former glory days are re-launched. The concept has been refined and today art from well-known artists once again hangs on the walls. Nordiska Galleriet is once again visited by famous designers, including Patricia Urquiola, who presented her new furniture collection for Cassina in spring 2017. The ambition level has been raised and the goal is to create a world-leading destination store for a design-interested audience.
We hope you will join us on our continued journey. Let's write the next chapter in the book about Nordiska Galleriet together.
