Fig. 3.5.1a. The first version of the patient room wardrobe was from January 1932 and it was a metal-
framed one. In the earliest of the architect’s sketches, the patient room wardrobes were made of metal.
The common features of the metal wardrobes, which had four legs, were the slanted top-part of the
wardrobe and the rounded corners. Otherwise, the design was basically rectangular. The right angle
between the side panel of the wardrobe and the wall was stabilised with an angle iron and the shelves
rested on angle irons. Detail of drawing No. 50-276. The drawing has been edited. AAM.
Fig. 3.5.1b. The drawing is marked “rejected”. At this stage, the wardrobe material had been changed
to plywood with a batten frame. The corner battens were rounded to create softly curving edges. The
plywood panels were straight and the shelves were supported by tubular profiles. The drawing is
dated February 5, 1932 and was drawn by Lars Wiklund. Drawing No. 50-266. The drawing has been
edited. AAM.
