Swedese | Sophisticated Simplicity from Småland

Swedese | Sophisticated Simplicity from Småland


Founded in 1945 by the two brothers Yngve and Jerker Ekström and Bertil Sjöqvist, Swedese's ideals are the same today as they have been for the past seventy years. These are to create beautiful furniture for the future, which build on the foundations of Scandinavian modern traditions. Furniture designed by forward-looking designers who share the timeless ideals of architecture.

Swedese create furniture and designer pieces that affect and add function and beauty in people's everyday lives. Products for the body, for the senses and for life. This vision is unrecognisably captured in Yngve Ekström's most well known design, the Lamino armchair from 1956. In 1999 the Lamino was voted the Twentieth Century's Best Swedish Furniture Design by the Swedish interior design magazine Sköna Hem. Today, this timeless beauty is sold all over the world.

From inspiring tables such as Savoa and the Lamino Side Table, to practical shelves like Libri and versatile poufs like Amstelle, Swedese never fails to impress.
