Madison is part of a Scandinavian tradition: craftsmanship, functionality and low-key design. All of its parts have striking proportions, like the 3-seater sofa with only two cushions. Lots of space for two, or intimacy for four. Madison lets the moment decide. Chose the sofa with or without buttons on the back cushions.
Leila Atlassi
The soul of a room is more important than individual pieces of furniture. The idea for a product means more than the details. And collaboration is more rewarding than solo efforts.
That the whole is greater than its parts is fundamental to Leila Atlassi – and forms the basis of her designs. Because of a fondness for systems and structures, she often creates subtle furniture that is strengthened by repetition and allows for numerous designs and variations. This makes space for the user to continue creating – in the best case, something completely unique.
Leila Atlassi was born in 1980. A fascination with aesthetics and technology at an early age led her to become a designer and interior architect. Atlassi holds a Master of Fine Arts in design from the School of Design and Crafts at the University of Gothenburg, and also studied industrial design at Chalmers University of Technology. Since 2007, she has worked for Gert Wingårdh, one of Sweden’s best-known architects. In addition to her job, she also works on product and furniture design privately.
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.
