United in utility

Even though the wall sound absorber Näver W and the Central easy-chair series serve different purposes, they share a common thread spun from flexibility, playfulness, and true Scandinavian design. Näver W is a perfect blend of excellent acoustics and creative freedom, while Central and its many siblings offer new, comfortable ways to work, wait, and relax. Thanks to its new swivel caster base and practical side table, Central adapts to various needs. Subtle details, such as the nature-inspired relief pattern on Näver W and the elegant stitching on Central’s back, enhance the welcoming and inviting atmosphere, providing something pleasant for your soul and senses – just the way you like it.

Central on casters by bonpart

Be the centre of attention - Central lives up to its name thanks to its unique characteristics. It’s always the centre of attention. Neat and tactful, but also stable and conspicuous, Central bridges the gap between a regular armchair and an easy chair. The simple and clean design allows it to stand out while blending in. Central’s beautiful upholstery, attentive sewing details in the back, and slender rectangular legs add structure and new dimensions to its shape. You can also mix it up with an elegant 5-star swivel base with five-casters and a practical side table in laptop size.

The design duo, bonpart, has created a flexible series that puts people at the heart of things, making it perfect for working, meetings, and waiting. Or just relaxing. Sit down and fix your eyes on the task at hand or sit back and rest your eyes for a moment. No matter how you use it, Central always makes you the central character of the story.

Näver W by Nina Jobs

Weave a pleasant soundscape - Näver W is a sound absorber inspired by the simplicity in Scandinavian nature. More importantly, it’s a tribute to the traditional Swedish art of weaving birch-bark baskets. An idea that was woven in the mind of designer Nina Jobs. The result is one of a kind. A creative combination of nature’s purity, a clever magnetic hanging system, and recycled textile material. Playful and decorative, yet highly functional. When you weave the sound-absorbing squares together, a tapestry of fascinating patterns emerges, and a 3D effect is created. Add, remove, and rearrange. You’re the weaver now. Näver also has a relief pattern, inspired by stripes on birch trunks, giving the room a unique character and adding structure to your creation. Above all, Näver absorbs sound, making you appreciate that good feeling of being in a space with balanced acoustics.

Sit back among the trees

This spring, Skandiform presents a fusion of style and form with our embracing easy-chair, BEasy, and our tree-shaped coat stand, Alm. They may appear as two sides of a coin, but they’re two peas in a pod. Both are crafted with precision and attention to detail. They’re also designed for ultimate comfort and functionality. Despite BEasy and Alm being distinct products from three different designers, they share a common theme – a tribute to tranquillity. Serving as natural retreats within your space, they invite you to relax and rejuvenate amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Take a moment to breathe, unwind, and find solace among the trees. Hang your hat and sit back.

BEasy easy chair/wingback chair
by Stefan Borselius/ Ruud Ekstrand

Be what it wants you to be - BEasy is an easy-chair that combines two designer mindsets. Co-designed by Stefan Borselius and Ruud Ekstrand, BEasy stands as a testament to the power of collaboration across generations. Contemporary yet classic, a symbol of unity and diversity. BEasy gently whispers “be easy” in your ears – a literal call to unwind and take things a bit more casually, but it also says “busy” and “business”. With its sculptural form and smooth lines, BEasy welcomes you with open arms while shielding you from the outside world, evoking a feeling of intimacy and seclusion, as if nested in a protective cocoon. A sophisticated and well-crafted creation, seamlessly blending in and standing out in any room it graces, meeting all the criteria for what a modern easy-chair or lounge chair should embody. It’s an invitation that already knows your response. Relax or focus – it’s that easy.

Alm coat stand
by Nina Jobs

Rooted in nature’s grace - Alm, designed by the internationally acclaimed designer Nina Jobs, is a steel coat stand named after a Swedish elm tree. A natural and ancient being known for its shadow play, structure, and stability – deeply rooted in the soil and a symbol of enduring beauty. What started as a mere seed of inspiration during another design project grew into a fully realised and innovative product. Nina Jobs envisioned a tree silhouette with branches and created Alm in her image. The branches act as hooks, inviting coats, hats, and other garments to find a temporary haven in the beautiful treetop. Use it to create colourful and expressive forests, small avenues of accents, or plant it as a solitaire where you need it the most. Have fun, experiment, and integrate it into any space. Alm is a true work of nature, that’s also beneficial to humans, much like a real tree. Made in Sweden and grown by you.

- Lifesaving healthcare where it is needed the most.

This year we have made the choice to contribute to life saving health care through Doctors Without Borders (MSF), who over the past year have conducted 3 million routine vaccinations, assisted in over 300,000 childbirths, and performed more than 12.5 million patient examinations.

Natural wonders in your world
Some of the world’s natural wonders can be marked on a map – a great barrier reef or a grand canyon far away – but most are found all around you. Flowers and trees. Bushes and grass. Herbs and hedges. And everything in between. Living beings that have a profound effect on people, both physically and emotionally.

Drawing inspiration from the natural world and its lush greenery, our new autumn collection combines the principles of biophilic design with sound absorbing materials and surfaces, to create pleasant, dynamic, and healthier spaces. A collection of newcomers and old acquaintances that transform any room into a haven of creativity. Make wonders and enjoy being out in nature – indoors.

Hedge – plant divider
by Kauppi & Kauppi

A balanced force of nature
Much like a real hedge in a lush garden, Hedge by Kauppi & Kauppi, can be used to form decorative and architectural dividers. And just like its dynamic sibling, Allé, Hedge connects people with nature through biophilic design. Whether you use it as a small solitary dot or in a long row, it can create both openness and privacy, while marking zones, passages, and rooms within rooms, and adding aesthetic appeal to any space. Hedge also mimics nature by absorbing and diffusing unwanted sound, making your interior quieter and more peaceful. Thanks to the wheels, the box is mobile and can be easily moved for cleaning. Hedge come in different variants with up to 3 pots for individual planting, trellises, and USB ports. Get more creative, feel better, and create a reality where all sides of the hedge are equally green.

Alba - oak / whitepigmented ash veneer
by Claesson Koivisto Rune

The beauty lies in the simplicity
Claesson Koivisto Rune has put its distinct mark on ALBA, a neat upholstered or veneered chair that’s characterised by simplicity, lightweight materials, and flexibility. It’s also available as an armchair and a bar stool. No matter how you use it, the organic and harmonious forms create a sense of elegant minimalism. It was designed to be affordable and easy to use in spaces where you need to maximise the number of chairs. ALBA’s beauty lies in the simplicity, most noticeable when many people are using it, but also when they’re done using it. A lightweight design makes both cleaning and stacking easy. The unique armrests are made of wood fibre; a combination of pine fibre and PPC. ALBA is a beautiful friendship between aesthetics and functionality, a strong character that deals with different needs, rooms, and emotions.

Canard - white / black laminate
by Lars Hofsjö

The playful duckling
Canard is French for duck. It’s also the name of this neat and charismatic chair, our very own duckling, designed by Lars Hofsjö. The shape is in fact inspired by the remarkable agility and balance of a duck. Like a duck, Canard makes things effortless with its inexhaustible energy and playfulness. It moves quickly and gracefully in its natural habitat. The seat and back are available in ash or laminated versions, and the elegant frame is made of metal. This combination seems to defy gravity, but Canard is both stable and comfortable. In addition, Canard is designed to be stacked and suspended. Our laminated versions are especially easy to keep clean. Canard is ideal for any setting where people meet and where you need to maximise your chairs, but also perfect for the moments when you’re not using it at all. An inspiring being as well as an interesting focal point – by itself and in a flock.

Tinnef – new tabletop
by Charlotte von der Lancken

From trash to table
Though Tinnef means rubbish in Yiddish, it’s the opposite of trash. It was designed by Charlotte von der Lancken at CVDLAB as a response to humanity's excessive use of plastic. The eye-catching series of tabletops – Frosty sprinkles, Meadow green, White marbled, and Black coal – are made of 100% recycled plastic waste like bottles, packages, containers, and appliances, making each table one of a kind. Since Tinnef’s inception, the raw material has changed, and it will continue to do so. Tinnef, just like recycled waste, is a reminder of the fragility of our planet. Regardless of its origin, Tinnef will always be an explosion of mesmerising colours and patterns, transforming your space into a kaleidoscope of visual wonder – a constant metamorphosis, a gorgeous fingerprint, and a conscious footprint.

Unmistakably Skandiform
Simplicity, beauty, playfulness, modularity, and sustainability are the cornerstones of the Skandiform 2023 spring collection. Our timelessly chic and infinitely practical newcomers and updated classics come together in a special collection of relaxed sophistication. It encourages creativity while offering both structure and flexibility to spaces where people meet. Brimming with elegant minimalism, this collection features modern lines, balanced colours, and fascinating materials which make it easy to put a long-lasting stamp on any room. A collection of products that are likable and a joy to use. A perfect blend that attracts all your senses. A sensation that cannot be mistaken for anything else – Skandiform

Tinnef – coffee table
by Charlotte von der Lancken

From trash to table - Since Tinnef saw the light of day, it has evolved into something even more sustainable. When launched, the Multicoloured and White marbled tabletops, set a new standard using recycled plastic from cosmetic bottles and yoghurt packages. The metamorphosis is still undergoing with our latest addition, Black coal, a distinct black coloured tabletop, interspersed with small islands of bright dots. It’s made of recycled plastic from old medical equipment such as packages and food containers. Each Tinnef table with a plastic tabletop is one of a kind. The pattern is always unique. We’ve also added a large new coffee table to the range in two different heights. With Black coal, Charlotte von der Lancken has created a new life for plastic waste through colourful explosions, reminding us of the fragility of our planet.


Tinnef – café table
by Charlotte von der Lancken

A table for two and the future - Though Tinnef means rubbish in Yiddish, it’s the opposite of trash. It was designed by Charlotte von der Lancken at CVDLAB as a response to humanity's use of plastic containers. The unique tabletops Multicoloured, White marbled, and Black coal, are made of plastic waste such as cosmetic bottles, yoghurt packages, old medical packages, and food containers. It’s an explosion of colours, patterns, and hope for the future. The latest addition, a flexible café table for two, offers plenty of style and functionality with its modern design and specific patterns. Thanks to the unique pattern in the tabletop, the sleek metal frame, and the rectangular base, this new sibling adds a sense of sophistication and boldness to any space. Use it as a solitary or group multiple tables in a row to create a long table.

The shape is in fact inspired by the remarkable agility and balance of a duck. Like a duck, Canard makes things effortless with its inexhaustible energy and playfulness.

In addition, Canard is designed to be stacked and suspended. Canard is ideal for any setting where people meet and where you need to maximise your chairs, but also perfect for the moments when you’re not using it at all. Regardless of its personality, Canard is an inspiring being as well as an interesting focal point – by itself and in a flock.


Nestor High
by Lars Hofsjö

An exalted master of flexibility - Nestor is a versatile modular sofa that makes the most of your space. Its modular sections allow you to create endless combinations and easily rearrange Nestor in a variety of ways depending on different rooms, contexts, and needs. You can even place Nestor around corners and pillars. Use it as freestanding pouffes or a long sofa, or something in between. In addition, you can spice things up with different colours and fabrics on the seating and the back. It’s not only neat and compact, but also gracious and comfortable thanks to its nozag. Designer Lars Hofsjö has added even more flexibility to the mix with the new Nestor high. The new high backs provide privacy as well as comfort and can be used as straight back sections, double backs, or corner backs. Screen off people or embrace people. It’s up to you.

The 2022 Autumn Collection shows who we really are, representing our values, personality, and integrity, even when no one’s looking. This collection truly embodies the ideas and virtues of Scandinavian design, our craftsmanship, and sustainable manufacturing. It all comes down to showing strong character and giving unique characteristics to your spaces. Our new characters and updated classics allow you to be the main character of your story. Show it. Display it. Enjoy it with all your senses.

Central by bonpart
Central lives up to its name thanks to its unique characteristics. It’s always the centre of attention. Central isn’t only neat and tactful, but also stable and conspicuous, bridging the gap between a regular chair and a lounge chair. The simple and clean design allows it to stand out while blending in. Central’s beautiful upholstery, its attentive sewing details in the back, and the rectangular legs add structure and new dimensions to the shape. 

Roll by Louise Hederström
At a first glance, Roll looks like a traditional coat hanger, but there’s more to this character than meets the eye. There’s nothing ordinary about it. Roll is a coat hanger on wheels, shaped like a tree with its stem, crown, and roots. It’s inspired by the kingly giants of the forest, but also by a king on an entirely different stage. Louise Hederström, a designer based in Skåne, loves the king of rock ‘n’ roll, Elvis Presley. Roll doesn’t move like Elvis, but it can easily be moved from one space to another. 

Deli lounge by Thomas Pedersen
Deli, our award-winning chameleon, has always been on a borderline between an armchair and an easy-chair. It’s neither and both. Its expression is enhanced by a two-part design which enables unique colour combinations. Now, Thomas Pedersen’s renowned and characteristic design has evolved into yet another voluminous sibling, the swivelling version of Deli lounge. 

Tinnef by Charlotte von der Lancken

The creative space. The efficient space. The harmonious space.

Our spring innovations see us forging ahead with our creation of spaces for movement and contemplation, creativity and rest. Sustainable, and timeless. Comfortable and functional. In all settings. Because new meeting places need new ideas, albeit in familiar form.

Spino 90
by Stefan Borselius
At first it was softly winding. Then it became straight. Now it’s time for the sofa that doesn’t want to stand still to take the next step. With Spino 90° we have added completely new possibilities to the Spino sofa for meetings between people and for adapting to fit different spaces. Back to back. Eye to eye. 90 degrees or all the way round. Along a straight wall or standing alone. Everything is possible for this sofa without limits.

Primo lounge
by Stefan Borselius
With the same careful focus on detail as the other chairs and tables in the Primo family, this upholstered easy chair is a link between its predecessors with added comfort. Primo Lounge is equally attractive from all angles. Making a handsome statement, its high backrest will naturally draw the eye. And of course the aluminium frame is recycled.

Castors and attached table added to the Nestor
by Lars Hofsjö
With the addition of a swivelling table, Nestor is no longer just somewhere to sit – it’s also a place where you can work, have a coffee or take notes of a meeting. Quite simply, a stable friend you can rely on. It’s only been going a few years, but Nestor has already grown into a big family. Small and neat, the wheeled Nestor is keen to join its siblings with its spirited appearance and flexible functionality. Its lockable wheels means it can be moved forward, moved back, complement other items of furniture or stand alone. Having its very own light-hearted character is a bonus.

Allé corner
by Kauppi & Kauppi
Indoors becomes outdoors –  the playful Allé divider brings the natural world inside by enabling living plants to be displayed at different heights. Inspired by the avenues and willow-lined roads of southern Sweden, Allé can blend in or stand out in solitary splendour, create corners of greenery that frame the room, form long, repeated rows or create areas of green to catch the eye. It can act as a waymarker – or be an invitation to stop and take a coffee break beneath a green canopy.

D2 chair and armchair by Stefan Borselius
Nobody can fail to notice when two-part D2 is in the room. In recycled plastic and hemp, the airy design and natural feel of these chairs make them easy to spread out, stack up or hang over the edge of a table. They come made entirely of plastic, semi-upholstered or fully-upholstered in contrasting colours. With arm rests – or without. D2 is at ease in all situations, whether these involve loud conversations or meetings in silence.

Lola chair by Margot Barolo
Lola is the friend you can trust and the friend you can lean on. In a shape that is friendly to look at, this chair has a personality that is both inclusive and humorous. A complete character with its fine details, solid stitching and careful pleating. But also comfortable and easy-going. With different fabrics, colours and materials, Lola can be configured to be chameleon-like in a room – or take centre stage as a real head-turner.

Tinnef - New table tops by Charlotte von der Lancken

Once breakfast is over, the yoghurt pots are given a new lease of life and transformed into a unique, attention-seeking table top. The white table top has silvery foil details and a frame in classic ash or oak. Or you can have both the top and frame made out of wood.

Is it rubbish or is it material? Old or new? The answer is both – and together with its colourful cousins made from recycled plastic bottles, the Tinnef family becomes a natural talking point around the table.

Canard chair by Lars Hofsjö
Playful Canard lives up to its French name – just like a duck it looks as if it is challenging its sense of balance. But with an elegant metal frame and light ash seat, Canard is both stable and comfortable. Neat, stackable and suspendable, it looks good in any setting. In different colours or the same colour, Canard is a natural talking point. That’s when the chair itself isn’t doing all the talking.

Deep Forest ‒ 2 new patterns by Nina Jobs
The summer forest is now being joined by completely new tree tops on which to rest your gaze. A sparser winter forest? Or a slightly fuller spring forest? Or a mixture of both – as is usually the way. In the harmony of nature, voices are softened and with all the colours of the forest available, the background will be just as it should be – attractive without being obtrusive.

Siblings. Friends. Community. It’s spring time for these families.

Rolling wheels, soft shapes and playful, eye-catching style. In the new spring collection, it’s the small siblings and their friends who grab all the attention. Through family acquaintances in innovative new designs, we are continuing to create space for movement and reflection, creativity and pause. With the same focus on sustainable materials and ergonomic solutions, we are expanding our popular families with new additions. So that meetings can take place. Experiences can be shared. And being together is never further than a few steps away.

New products 2021!
Deli lounge/armchair - by Thomas Pedersen
Award-winning Deli is expanding – in depth, width, with new upholstery and in a new lounge style. It’s an armchair with laid-back self-confidence. The two-part design makes unique colour choices possible, the fully-upholstered back creates a feeling of whole and the soft shapes invite you to pause for a moment. Or a little longer.

Bolero ottoman - by Nina Jobs
An ottoman, a footstool, a small sibling who demands attention. Among the new additions to the Bolero sofa series, it’s the little piece with a totally unique look that stands out in a room. A little lighter, a little neater than its older siblings. A piece that can blend in with the others in the same colours and with the same frame. Or one that can stand out with playful contrasts.

Soft Top chair and bar stool on wheels - by Brad Ascalon
Stand, sit, roll forward and roll away. When Soft Top gets a set of wheels, creative meetings can gather pace. With its simple, unique design, Soft Top fits into most settings. With its flexible construction, it has a place anywhere that activity and movement are mixed with concentration and calm. In your home office in front of the screen. With colleagues at work. In the workshop where new ideas are waiting to emerge.

Isa ottoman- by Louise Hederström
Lowlands, hills and mountains. Isa bench follows the shifting shapes of nature in a room. Now it comes in a smaller format with this ottoman making an entrance with its neater style. Easy to move around. Easy to place. And with the same inviting attitude to spontaneous meetings and relaxed conversations as its larger partner with the same name.

Matsumoto laptop table

We are pleased and proud to announce that two of this year's new product Soft Top bench (design Brad Ascalon) and Twig chair (design by Johannes Lindner) have won the prestigious German Design Award 2021.

Soft Top bench- Winner in the category Excellent Product Design - Furniture

STATEMENT OF THE JURY: "The furniture appears very sturdy thanks to its subframe made of steel pipe, yet still pleasantly light – an impression that is further underlined by the plain upholstered seats and discreet colours."

Twig - Winner in the category Excellent Product Design - Furniture

STATEMENT OF THE JURY: "The back rest closes with a horizontal rod whose ends project markedly. An original design idea, which has a practical use, e.g. as bracket or handle and endows the minimalist chair with a feature that renders it unmistakeable."
