PRESS INFORMATION FROM STOLAB
With love for solid wood.
Stolab has been in love with solid wood since the company
was founded in 1907. It maintains an uncompromising
conviction that solid wood is synonymous with quality
and sustainability. This year oak is making a grand
entrance into our selection and is a welcome addition
to the furniture we make from birch and ash.

Carl table in oak
DESIGN: MARIT STIGSDOTTER
The Carl table is designed to pay tribute to Carl Malmsten
and his classic Windsor-style chair, Lilla Åland, the design
of which is stable, natural, functional and tactile. The Carl
table takes on the character of the chair with turned, flared
legs and a chamfered edge around the top. The round,
form-hugging edging has a soft profile to give a billowing,
organic impression. All edges are also generously rounded
to emphasize affinity with the chair.
The Carl table naturally looks elegant with many other
types of chairs, and not just Lilla Åland.
Lilla Åland in oak
DESIGN: CARL MALMSTEN
Lilla Åland is a tried and true staple in Stolab’s selection
and a favourite that on many occasions has represented
excellent Swedish design from the 20th century.
Carl Malmsten was inspired during a trip to Finnströms
Church on the island of Åland, which had several
Windsor-style chairs set out. He sketched several of them
and production began after he added some
of his own adjustments and changes,
which was typical for Carl Malmsten’s style.
This year we are introducing Lilla Åland in solid oak.
Accessories for the chair include sheepskin cushions in
different styles and colours as well as a black leather cushion.

Miss Holly chair
and table
DESIGN: JONAS LINDVALL
The Miss Holly chair emerged out of a respect for the past
and a feel for what is lacking today. Jonas was inspired by
Windsor-style chairs from all over the world and has created
here his very own version with a two-dimensional feel.
Gracious and generous at the same time. A chair that is
equally attractive as it is functional and whose many details
testify to the professional craftsmanship and the love of wood
as a material. Miss Holly is equally attractive alone or in a
group. Its seating height is suitable for most dining tables.
The Miss Holly table is based on a simple, clear construction in
solid wood. Miss Holly has a robust top and carefully machined
edges and legs that give the table a soft, inviting impression.
Simplicity meets a strong material feeling. It is so beautiful.
A table for the family,
relatives and the office.
The table is made from
solid ash, oak or birch.

Harrow chair
DESIGN: JONAS LINDVALL
When Jonas created Harrow, it was as homage to
the tradition of craftsmanship and thus to Stolab.
Harrow has a broad backrest made of conical sections
that taper towards the back legs giving Harrow a wellcrafted and neat appearance. The upholstered seat
has moulded padding for comfortable sitting. A unique
detail in Harrow is the vertical direction of the chair’s
wood fibres that create a feeling of visual continuity
throughout the chair.
Harrow was first introduced in 2014. Since we are
introducing oak into our selection, it feels natural
to include Harrow again this year.
Standard with a sound absorber under the seat.
