Swedese details.
It could be the shape, original, unknown. Or it could be the functionality, the material, the craftwork. It is what makes a new Swedese piece more than just new, turning it into a new classic, embracing both decades past and years ahead. And with that, it enters our collection. Please take a look.

Swedese
Swedese was founded in 1945 by the designer Yngve Ekström. The company is known not only for quality furniture in bent, laminated wood. Today, Swedese is just as much a modern producer of upholstered furniture with a high degree of comfort and technical innovation. Alongside the original factory in Vaggeryd, where the head office is still located, Swedese has a second production plant in Äng, Sweden. Craftmanship alongside Swedese’s ideals to create beautiful furniture for the future has resulted in numerous design awards all over the world. Good design is universal.
Yngve Ekström
Furniture designer, artist, entrepreneur and inventor. Yngve Ekström started his professional life as a furniture carpenter in the village of Vaggeryd in Småland, Sweden, and soon became one of the leading names in the field of Swedish modern furniture design. Multi-talented as he was, he designed over 150 different models of furniture, lamps and fabrics that all went into production. The designs of Yngve Ekström are characterised by applying the quality and beautiful lines of a craftsman to the function of the product. He condensed his philosophy into a favourite quote. ”He, who has already matured to appreciate great simplicity, does not need a large apparatus to lead a good life, neither for his body nor for his soul”.
