About Stolab
At Stolab, we strive to produce solid wood furniture with soul and character. Furniture that is truly contemporary, yet timeless. Where its quality, design and function makes it more beautiful over time - furniture to be enjoyed and appreciated by generations to come.
We have been manufacturing solid wood furniture at the same location since 1907. This has given us a wealth of valuable experience that characterizes all our activities. In our factory pure craftsmanship is combined with modern manufacturing where professional pride, knowledge, and love for the solid wood are common denominators. The fact that design, production, and assembly all take place at the same location in Smålandsstenar not only allows us to achieve the exacting requirements on quality and sustainability that characterize Stolab. It also means that everyone participates in and feels responsible for the entire process – from the original idea to the delivered product. Our driving force is to take Stolab even further.
Tomorrows classics
While it’s not possible to know what will become tomorrow’s classics, with all the knowledge we’ve gained about wood, and with our firm focus on aesthetic sustainability, this has become our constant vision for our furniture and the Stolab range.

Timeless design
Stolab’s design language will now and in the future, combine both integrity and individualism, will relate to both Scandinavian and European furniture traditions and at the same time, possess a high standard of workmanship. Every piece of furniture produced by Stolab is created to endure, inspire and aspire to be inherited. We don’t just produce furniture with our customers in mind, but also their children’s children.
Wood Experts
At Stolab we’ve been making furniture in solid wood since 1907. That has given us unique, in-depth insights across the entire value chain, from raw material to finished items of furniture that are ensured of a long, useful life. We see this unparalleled knowledge as an essential component of our ability to deliver the consistent high quality that is synonymous with every item of furniture that bears the Stolab brand.

Solid wood
Solid wood is the common denominator of all our products and is well in line with the level of quality we want our furniture to embody. We love solid wood as it is a challenging and inspiring ’living’ material that demands respect and patience. And it is particularly in the details that solid wood, our expertise and our craftsmanship come into their own. Making the right choices from the beginning is a condition for manufacturing timeless furniture. More specifically, only choosing wood that has been allowed to grow and develop slowly.
Aesthetic sustainability
At Stolab there has always been a symbiosis between sustainability and aesthetics. It is part of the cultural heritage that defines both us and the local area where we live and work. It’s all about recognising the value of what you have, and not living beyond your means.
Our furniture products are made to meet the functional demands of their various everyday uses, while also adding an aesthetic value to each and every setting in which they are placed. Such furnishings become a part of the history of those who use them, worthy of being looked after and passed on. That was how Carl Malmsten reasoned when he created Lilla Åland, and that is how we still reason today, when we work together with our designers to create new items of furniture adapted to meet the needs of both people and the environment. Today aesthetic sustainability has become one of the chief attributes of Stolab design.

Sustainability
We have an underlying belief that, although we may be a small part of a greater context, we nonetheless make a difference. We should ensure that we do whatever we can to contribute to a healthy environment. This is why we give a little extra thought when making decisions. We want to make a positive contribution rather than a negative impact, which includes our work environment and our manufacturing facilities. And most important of all, it includes the furniture we make here every day. We call our sustainability work Reduce Reuse Restore.
