A new take on traditional Swedish furniture with the OMMJÄNGE collection

For people living in rural Sweden 200 years ago, all activities took place in one room. Today’s tiny living may not be for the same reasons as then, but it calls for similar solutions. Inspired by Swedish folklore, OMMJÄNGE consists of flexible products from classic materials such as solid pine wood, wool, stoneware and mouth-blown glass.

Rethink traditional

In the 1800s, most homes in Sweden held a small, decorative liquor cabinet. The OMMJÄNGE wall cabinet is our version, made in stained solid pine wood. The cabinet can be closed or fully opened, creating a shelf and wings on the wall. What treasures would you keep behind these curvy doors?

A collaboration between the past and now

The OMMJÄNGE collection pays tribute to our folklore heritage by combining traditional Swedish craftsmanship with modern-day ingenuity. Meet a dobby weave cushion cover, an expressive wall tapestry, and a handwoven wool rug, all with geometric patterns inspired by Swedish folk art.

Glass like milk and amber

Inspired by the Swedish “spillkum”, glazed terracotta bowls with white decoration, designer Maria Vinka decided to adapt the shapes and colours into transparent and opaque glass. Mouth-blown by skilled artisans, every glass item is unique.

Bringing good ideas into the future

In 19th century Sweden, clothing was stored in a chest bench next to the bed, while the small milk stool helped relieve backs and knees around the home. Discover your favourite version of folklore design!
