Furniture Stockholm: Find What You're Looking For From Scandinavian Modern To Feng-shui

by Richard Guilfoyle

Sweden in recent years has seen an enormous amount of growth in terms of interest in furniture (möbler) and home design. People are beginning to recognize that your individual furnishing or home style is just as personal and individualistic as the style of clothes you wear. Stockholm is at the front of the new wave of interior design (inredning) trends, and it holds something for everybody. It doesn't matter what your tastes or budget are.

Furniturebox.se is a web-based company, which sells expensive furniture (möbler) pieces at lower prices. In central Stockholm they have a 500 sq meter store that offers high quality furniture and a real shopping experience. Bolia, with their New Scandinavian Design concept and handmade furniture is a must-see for anyone interested in design and handicraft. Bolia have a renowned design team and give young designers the chance to join them through the Bolia Design Award.

Ekero Furniture, Stalands Furniture, and DUX beds (DUX sängar) are big players in the Stockholm furniture business. Some furniture companies, such as POM (Piece of Mind) ask why certain products that should exist do not, and then answer that question by creating those products.

After compiling data about customer desires at a furniture fair recently, Lanna Furniture has selected a brand new inventory. Bromma Möbler offers stately pieces with solid construction, while Carlssons Furniture is known for its high quality work and its long history of making great pieces. GAD, a company from the island of Gotland, is also a retailer in Stockholm, creating unique furniture on demand.

Any furniture lover visiting Stockholm must goto the SoFo area. Here you will find an assortment of secondhand stores and galleries selling a wide array of furniture. This could include demo pieces, classic furniture from the 50s and 60s, or even Feng-Shui inspired furniture as well. The giant furniture stores, such as IKEA, Mio and EM are represented also.

Last but not least, when discussing Stockholm furniture we must mention the Stockholm Furniture Fair, which is the biggest gathering for Scandinavian furniture lovers. Of particular note was the Greenhouse section where new designers and international design schools have the chance to show their work. Running in parallel with the fair is the Northern Light Fair which is Scandinavia's lighting exhibition.

Similar to clothing fashion, Stockholm furniture (möbler stockholm) is at the leading edge of furniture and interior design (inredning). With a uniquely wide variety of secondhand shops, a vast number of galleries selling sample pieces, furniture (möbler) constructed in light of Feng Shui principles, and the timeless pieces from the 50's and 60's which are high in demand right now, Stockholm has so much to offer the furniture world. One last thing to mention is the Stockholm Furniture Fair, or the largest gathering of Scandinavian furniture lovers.
