$2,650 · 1960s “Krobo” Brazilian Rosewood Bench by Torbjørn Afdal for Bruksbo

Designed by acclaimed Norwegian designer Torbjørn Afdal for Bruksbo, the iconic “Krobo” bench is a masterclass in minimalist elegance and versatility. Originally conceived in the early 1960s, this long, low form was designed to serve as a bench, console, or coffee table — a rare combination of sculpture and utility. Crafted in richly figured Brazilian rosewood, the piece showcases Afdal’s deep respect for natural materials, with bookmatched grain patterns flowing across its surface and down the sides. The bold sled-style base provides visual grounding without sacrificing the bench’s refined proportions. Freshly restored by our team and finished to a silky sheen, this bench is in exquisite condition. An enduring design classic — and a standout piece of Norwegian modernism.
