We are now relaunching Yngve Ekström's bistro chair from 1964
In the mid-sixties, renowned Swedish designer Yngve Ekström created the east-going yet distinct bistro chair Småland. Timing was perfect – Swedish cafés, restaurants and hotels soon featured Småland chair, it fulfilled a longing for lightness, colour and optimism. The same longing exists today, and now Småland is here again. Still made in Småland by Stolab, the original manufacturer.
At Stolab, we strive to produce solid wood furniture with soul and character. Furniture that is modern yet timeless. Where its quality, design and function make it more beautiful with time - furniture to be enjoyed and appreciated by future generations.
The History of Lilla Åland!
When Swedes think of a chair, it’s made from solid turned wood. It goes by many names, “peg chair” being the most common. It comes in many varieties, from elaborately decorated models from the 19th century to attempts to recreate by means of modernistic reduction.
