The Swedish manufacturer was founded back in 1907 and Martin Johansson, the brand's owner, and CEO talks about the history of the brand and its perspective of creating wood furniture from the forests to the factory.
Johansson states that "When we look at forests or wooden products, we have a great respect for that. We also realise how much forest you need in order to get superior quality out of it [...] It's an important part of our culture and our surroundings. It's a unique place, which we need to take very good care of."
