For those of you who are not familiar with Johanson, the company has more than 60 years of experience in creating Swedish furniture featuring pure, simple and well-balanced design. Börje Johanson's original idea was to sew hearth cushions and in 1953 he started his company in Markaryd in southern Sweden. His sons Dan and Paul Johanson took over the business in 1992. With a very clear ambition to manufacture furniture for public interiors, they have invested a great deal of time, energy and resources into design, product development and marketing. This has produced impressive results, with the company now a well known name. Loyal customers can now be found in Europe, USA, the Middle East and Asia. An important step in the company's development process was our decision to work with external designers. We are continually developing our wide selection of furniture in close and long-term collaboration with some of the foremost designers in Sweden and Europe.
Johanson is deeply committed to its environmental and quality work. The company is certified according to ISO 14001 and they fulfil the requirements for certification by the Swedish Möbelfakta organisation. We comply with EU standards, in which the highest requirements for testing and durability for public environments are met. Today, Johanson is an international company with 80 employees and a turnover of 250 MSEK. Our aim is to continue to expand while retaining our quality and delivery reliability standards as well as our involvement and service levels that characterise our commitment to our present customers.
Johanson Design expands the SKETCH series: a continued collaboration with Färg & Blanche
During Salone del Mobile in Milan, Johanson Design presents the latest addition to its acclaimed SKETCH series. With the same expressive whipstitching and sketch-like form that characterize the series, a new functional and sculptural element is now added to the collection. Following the launch of the SKETCH pendant lamp in collaboration with NOON earlier this year, Johanson Design now introduces another piece in the beloved and widely recognized series designed by Färg & Blanche. The new bench is designed to work equally well in public spaces and private interiors, a piece that invites both rest and visual engagement. Like the previous pieces in the series, the bench is based on Färg & Blanche's vision of merging artistic concepts with functional objects. The signature whipstitched edge, running along the contour like a drawn line, gives the bench a strong graphic identity and reinforces the coherence of the series.
"We wanted to create a bench that feels both playful and sophisticated – a piece that can stand alone yet harmonize with the other products in the SKETCH family," say Färg & Blanche. The SKETCH series began with a sofa developed in collaboration between Johanson Design and Färg & Blanche and has since expanded to include several product categories – most recently, the pendant lamp created with NOON. The bench further strengthens the identity of the series while opening new ways of using and placing design objects in spatial contexts. Visit Johanson Design at Salone del Mobile in Milan and experience the latest addition to the SKETCH series.
