Gävle, Sweden
Skargaarden hails from Gävle, a quaint town nestled along the Baltic coast of Sweden. For centuries, the town's inhabitants have relied on the bountiful waters and picturesque landscapes that encompass their lives. Yet, existence here is not without its challenges, as harsh winds and heavy snowfall dominate the majority of the year. Just a day's journey from their doorstep lies the Arctic Circle, where a month-long winter darkness emphasizes the scarcity of sunlight. Understanding the fleeting nature of Scandinavian summers, Skargaarden holds a deep appreciation for every sunlit moment, striving to encapsulate their essence in each creation. Collaborating with skilled designers from Sweden, Denmark, and Finland, Skargaarden aims to pay homage to Scandinavian design principles while drawing inspiration from the American Shaker and Bauhaus movements. Their furniture embodies a commitment to superior craftsmanship, durability, and an effortless aesthetic. With a belief in the mantra of "less is more," Skargaarden places emphasis on quality over quantity, elevating simplicity to an unparalleled level of refinement.
