Traditional scandinavian design
Skargaarden comes from Gävle, a small town on the Baltic coast, just a few hours away from the Arctic Circle. It’s windy and it’s harsh. It snows in the winter and rains in the fall. And most of the year it’s dark.
Skargaarden makes their furniture for these precious moments; for the short Swedish summers. They make furniture to withstand everything that nature throws at it with that beautiful Scandinavian traditional design.
Inspired by everything from early American shaker style to Bauhaus and Scandinavian design. Their furniture exude a sense of effortlessness, elevated simplicity, beautiful details and a character defined by pure craftsmanship in production and material selection.
Skargaarden is known for some iconic pieces:
The Nozib chair.
The Kryss chair. In 1975, Björn Hultén was commissioned to decorate the Swedish Embassy in Cairo. For the Embassy’s terrace, he designed and set out several foldable chairs with subtle but distinct reference to the Egyptian legacy.
The H55 chair, designed by Björn Hultén for the 1955 Helsingborg Exhibition also known as H55.
