Four postmodernist chairs surround the table. Their faux leather upholstery, typical of the 1960s and 70s, gleams softly in the light, while the black surface displays a subtle patina formed over the years. The carefully chosen materials tell the story of a time when experimentation and elegance came together in design.
Rosewood frames each chair with deep, warm tones and contrasting grain. The wood feels rich and full, with a texture that adds depth to the clean lines of the design. It was one of the most prized woods at the time, a choice that attests to an attention to detail and quality. Supported by tubular, polished metal legs, the chairs appear to almost float above the floor, as if the metal absorbs the space and seeks to add lightness to the surroundings.
The combination of materials is a play of contrasts and harmony: the cool, sleek metal against the rich, warm wood, the smooth faux leather against the natural grain. Each chair is a balance of form and function, a tribute to an era when furniture design was both progressive and a representation of high-end materials. They add a distinctive elegance to the space, an understated luxury that is both simple and refined.

Thereca is a furniture manufacturer founded in 1870 that underwent several transformations over the years. For instance, this design by Sven Ivar Dysthe was produced around the 1970s, when the company was acquired under the name Rob Veen Meubelen. In 2001, Thereca shifted its focus to healthcare and project furnishing. As a result, design pieces such as this dining set were discontinued, meaning only a few vintage pieces can still be found on the market, making them extremely unique.
Dysthe, a rarity among Norwegian designers of his time, studied outside his homeland at the London Royal College of Arts, the renowned institution that has recently produced contemporary designers such as Max Lamb, Simon Hasan, James Irvine, Philippe Malouin, and Sarah van Gameren of Studio Glithero.
Dysthe graduated in 1954 with a degree in industrial design—and the rare distinction of a first-class graduate—and toured Scandinavia for his first job: first in Copenhagen, at the design firm of Peter Hvidt and Orla Mølgaard Nielsen; then back in Oslo, where in 1956, commissioned by furniture manufacturer Hiorth & Østlyngen, Dysthe produced his beech, teak, and woven seagrass Model 316 Dining Chair, a robust and honest example of where Scandinavian design was heading at the time.
