Things made for humans is Sofia Dahlén’s genuine long-term philosophy. Like Solino, which has the soft, cosy and comfortable interior of a comforting embrace.
Sofia Dahlén
Things made for humans is Sofia Dahlén’s genuine long-term philosophy. She is a Swedish designer, living in London and designing furniture and interiors for our five senses. It may soundmore obvious than it is – to work for the end-user. And not just to think of the visualand functionality, but also the tactile ...
For Sofia Dahlén it’s important that the materials are attractive both for the body and the hand. The armchair Solino, made for Swedese when she was a student, is a fine example of her humanitarian design. It has a cosy interior, soft and comfortable, like an embracing pair of arms to creep inside. The exterior is more austere and hard, like a shell that protects you from the outside world.
Sofia Dahlén was born in 1969 in Stockholm and received her Master of Fine Arts at HDK/University of Gothenburg. Since then, she has been employed at an architect office in Stockholm – on projects concerning everything from offices, theatres to private homes – and designing furniture, textiles and porcelain under her own name in London.
Brand description
Many modernist architects were universal designers with not only a clear understanding of designing houses, but also the interior, the furniture and almost the clothes the owners might wear. Swedese's founder, Yngve Ekström, was no exception. Together with names including Alvar Aalto, Bruno Mathsson, Arne Jacobsen and Poul Kjaerholm, Yngve Ekström was at the core of a generation of designers who made the concept "Scandinavian Modern" famous all over the world. With a keen eye, he designed Swedese's furniture, he designed together with L + M Architects also the head office building, logo, catalogues and personalised Christmas cards including their own poems. And so on.
The most well known design of Yngve Ekström's extensive portfolio is the Lamino armchair from 1956, which is still manufactured and sold all over the world. In 1999 the Lamino was voted the Twentieth Century's Best Swedish Furniture Design by the Swedish interior design magazine Sköna Hem.
