lindqvist 2022.
Welcome back, dear friend.
Considered an absolute necessity in nearly every Nordic home trough out the 1950s-and 60’s. Nowadays it’s a sought-after rarity at furniture auctions and online marketplaces.
After an intermission lasting half a century, it’s time for the long-awaited comeback. With the same sturdy design, outstanding durability and elegantly rounded shapes as back in the heyday. Entirely manufactured in Sweden according to the original drawings. Only a minor upgrade of the finish distinguishes the new series from the 1950s model, otherwise, nothing has changed. Why should it?

Lindqvistpallen is part of the legendary era called "Swedish Modern" which got its international breakthrough at the Stockholm Exhibition in 1930.
Function and simplicity were the key words, with designers, artists and architects such as Bruno Mathson, Josef Frank and Esther Ericson leading the way. Contemporary with Le Corbusier (Barcelona chair); Bruno Mathson (Grasshopper) and Arne Jacobsen (Myran) - Lindqvistpallen, in all its simplicity, represented the ideas of the modern, stylish home.
The story continues, the spirit remains.
High-profile furniture design, female leadership and all-Swedish manufacturing. Then and now.
For a long period, Verkstads Ab Lindqvist was one of Sweden's leading manufacturers of office furniture for private and public environments. The company's success was built on ingeniously constructed furniture with advanced surface finish, modern design and ergonomic shape. Engineering paved the way for functionality and innovation.
When the company's visionary and founder, Tore Lindqvist, passed away at the age of 53, old, his only daughter Inger, then 23, took over as VABL’s new CEO; hence becoming Sweden's youngest female business leader ever.
The 2:nd generation carries on the legacy.
In 2022, history will begin anew. The family-owned brand, Lindqvist, resurfaces with Ann, daughter of Inger, as CEO of the company. The Lindqvist footstool is the company's first release. The legend lives on.
