Better acoustics in Stockholm’s Skeppsholm Church

450 chairs with a sound-absorbent insert under the seat have greatly improved the acoustics in the historic Skeppsholm Church in the heart of the Swedish capital. Now used as a concert hall, the building was recently renovated for the use of the Eric Ericson International Choral Centre. In conjunction with the renovation, the architectural firm Bach arkitekter commissioned designer Åke Axelsson and Gärsnäs to develop a version of the furniture company’s Akustik chair.

The result is a lightweight and versatile chair which is both stackable and linkable, and which functions well for concerts and other events. The work was done in collaboration with the National Property Board Sweden and the architect in order to meet all requirements and needs.

Gärsnäs selected as official supplier to the Swedish state

Gärsnäs has again been selected as a framework agreement supplier to the Swedish state. In the face of stiff competition our furniture was ranked highest, primarily for its design and function but also for ergonomic and environmental reasons.
At Gärsnäs we are pleased and proud at the agreement, which is proof that our business strategy that we have pursued since 1893 is still on the right track.

Gärsnäs in Vienna

We exhibit at the Swedish Embassy in Vienna during the Svenskt Ljus & Design evening 9 Nov. The exhibition is thereafter shown in the entrance of the newly opened Stilwerk Galleria in the centre of Vienna until 19 Nov. Welcome!

Gärsnäs open up the display window to the world!

On Saturday, October 1, is the grand opening of Gärsnäs new showroom and shop, where visitors can explore their interior design ideas.

Gärsnäs has developed a range of new products for the home environment to complement the collection of furniture created by designers such as Åke Axelsson, Anna von Schewen, Inga Sempé, Monica Förster, Damian Williamson and Nina Jobs.

The new Gärsnäs showroom and shop is situated in Sven-Harry´s Art Museum at the Vasa Park.

“Our new range of interior design products has placed our furniture in a new context, and the whole environment of the Vasa Park and Sven-Harry’s Art Museum creates a setting that feels new and inspiring,” comments Gärsnäs CEO Dag Klockby. “This new venture is a way for us to make Gärsnäs more accessible to private consumers. We are also able here to showcase our Österlen cultural heritage, and our cooperation with glass artist Elna Jolom and ceramic artist Anna Bell are two good examples of that.”

Opening hours:
Shop: Mon closed, Tue-Fri 11am-6pm, Sat 11am-4pm
Showroom: Mon-Fri 9am-5pm, closed 12am-1pm

Milan Week 14-19/4 2010

Of course, we will also be exhibiting at Salone Internazzionale del Mobile from 14-19 April 2010. It’s our way of telling the world about the contemporary Swedish furniture tradition. Milan Week is without doubt the world’s most important meeting place for everyone who works with furniture, lighting, and home or office interior design. The event is usually both inspiring and overwhelming in equal measure. Do drop in to see our new products and maybe also enjoy an espresso, pavilion 12, stand E:06.

WOOD
DESIGN ÅKE AXELSSON

Wood is made from beech from sustainably managed forests. The components are made with a traditional steaming technique that uses a minimal amount of wood. Wood is packed disassembled in a recyclable cartonboard in order to reduce transport volume and thereby carbon dioxide emissions. Wood is lightweight and comfortable and meets the highest requirements for both product durability and environmental sustainability. Wood is available in untreated or waxed beech, or with a ecolabelled stain in black, white, dark brown or red. The back can be upholstered in a choice of vegetable tanned
leather, sheepskin or cotton canvas.

KVILT EASY CHAIR AND SOFA
DESIGN NINA JOBS

Kvilt was shown as a prototype in 2009 at the Stockholm Furniture Fair and Salone del Mobile in Milan. We now present Kvilt as an easy chair and sofa. During the two-year development process, we worked with Nina Jobs to achieve an attractive and comfortable easy chair and sofa of high quality and with a long lifespan. We placed great importance on the design of the wadding and the upholstering process. Kvilt can appear very different thanks to the range of available quilting patterns and the varied combinations of
textiles and leathers. We have chosen to present Kvilt in an exclusive material, Alcantara, and in a cotton canvas. The sofa legs are in solid, turned ash wood. The sofa cover is removable and comes with Velcro strips and a zipper.

MOTION
DESIGN MONICA FÖRSTER

A bench in natural birch or stained. Available in a right- or left-sided version. When the benches are joined, the resulting asymmetrical form creates a wave movement that runs along the wall. Motion has a strong, playful presence and suits many different environments.

DRESS SOFA
DESIGN ANNA VON SCHEWEN

The Dress sofa is a complement to last year’s launch of the Dress easy chair. The sofa is recognisable by the draped look of its pleated upholstery and by its concave “waistline”. Dress is compact, offers good seating comfort, and functions as a beautiful room divider thanks to its
pleated back. Dress is covered in Scuba or Lucca, two fabrics from Kvadrat or leather. Different fabrics can be used on the outside and inside of the sofa.

BUTTON II
DESIGN PIERRE SINDRE

Easy chair, frame in natural ash or stain. Back and armrests in moulded felt, also available in leather. Seat covered in fabric or leather. BUTTON II , an elegant and confortable easy chair. The exciting encounter between
two materials gives the easy chair a contemporary, innovative look. A easy chair for different occasions and meetings!

CRAFT I, II
Design Åke Axelsson

Chair and armchair in natural or stained ash. Seat in fabric or leather. An elegant, well made chair in a classical timeless model with a high level of craftsmanship. The seat’s innovative solution with a shaped felt cushion and
wadding combined with the design of the back sections makes Craft especially comfortable.

Stockholm Furniture Fair 2010

Stockholm City Law Courts

For the major renovation and extension of the Stockholm City Law Courts, the Swedish National Courts Administration chose furniture from Gärsnäs.
During 2009 we supplied about 3,000 chairs and tables to various parts of the building, where work was completed in the autumn of 2009.

Wood

A chair for the future

This chair takes up very little space when unassembled. By saving 80 to 90 per cent of an ordinary chair’s transport volume, Wood also spares the environment from large amounts of carbon dioxide, packaging materials and storage space. Wood’s components are bent with a traditional steaming technique that uses a minimal amount of wood. The wood used is local red beech with from sustainably managed forests. The chair is constructed to last for many years – another benefit to the environment. Concept and form: Åke Axelsson.
