\u201cWe produce more Lilla \u00c5land chairs than ever before\u201d, says a satisfied Martin Johansson, CEO and owner of\u00a0 Stolab.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ultimate spindle-back chair was born during a woodcrafting course that Carl Malmsten held with his pupils on \u00c5land in 1939. In the old church in Finstr\u00f6m he found a hand-carved spindle-back chair where <\/span>\u00a0\u201cthe curved verve of the seat and the caressing, backside-friendly recess\u201d took him by storm. His assistant Sven Erik Fryklund took measurements and the final product was developed back at the factory. Three years later, production of Lilla \u00c5land became a reality.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201dThis year, we are talking about almost 25,000 chairs, including the armchair and infant chair. And the growth rate is strong\u201d, Martin Johansson explains.<\/span><\/p>\n

The majority of people who buy the chair, which celebrates its 80<\/span>th<\/span> anniversary next year, are private individuals. But public spaces are also often furnished with Lilla \u00c5land. Through Yllw interior services, Stolab has delivered almost 400 chairs for the 177 apartments in the newly opened Biz Apartment hotel in Bromma.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lilla \u00c5land is even more visible at the re-opened restaurant Bl\u00e5 Porten at Liljevalchs. As the art gallery on Djurg\u00e5rden was being renovated and extended,\u00a0 the City of Stockholm took the opportunity to restore the adjacent restaurant\/cafe, just as historical as Liljevalchs \u2013 both opened in the summer of 1916. During the restoration, the ceiling was cleaned to reveal original paintings. The walls\u00a0 glow in Pompeian red, a colour which became popular in the 1920s and recurs in the facades of the art gallery.<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n

The restaurant is furnished with Carl Malmsten classics. Around 200 Lilla \u00c5land chairs are in place. Some are painted in Stolab\u2019s midnight blue colour, but most are in a custom-made warm grey colour, created by the interior designer in charge, Richard Lindvall in collaboration with conservators.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cUp until now, I have worked mostly with minimalist style interiors, with a hard design language featuring a lot of metal and concrete. So Bl\u00e5 Porten was something completely new for me. It was important to meet the guest\u2019s expectations of such classic surroundings, which is why I chose to use Swedish furniture only\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have already received a lot of praise and people feel welcome\u201d, says Richard Lindvall. And the quality of the furniture has to be the best, to accommodate around 2,000 guests per day.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In addition to the spindle-back chairs, Richard Lindvall selected three tables from Tre Sekel, among them a few Visings\u00f6 by Carl Malmsten. The Italian style garden contains furniture from Byarums Bruk and Guteform.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thus, Bl\u00e5 Porten, with the aid of Carl Malmsten, has regained its position as a destination and oasis for all those strolling around Djurg\u00e5rden even in our time.<\/span><\/p>\n
