Fredriksbergsbadet Outdoor Swimming Pool
In the summer of 2022, the Fredriksbergsbadet outdoor swimming pool in the Swedish city of Västerås reopened to the public, furnished with a curated selection of Nola products.
From September 23–25, Elmia in Jönköping will be filled with inspiration for everyone working with parks and outdoor environments. Naturally, we’ll be there, presenting products with a focus on health design that supports quality of life across all ages.
At Nola, we are driven by a commitment to stay at the forefront of innovation and product development. Together with Nordic Circular Link, we are now taking the next step, exploring how digital product passports (DPPs) can become part of the future furniture industry.
From 3–5 September, we’ll be at Have & Landskab in Denmark, the Nordic region’s largest trade fair for landscape architects and everyone working with urban outdoor environments. You’ll find us at Slotspladsen, stand 22.
Join us in Södertälje from May 26 to 28 for the Svenska Stadskärnor Annual Conference—an event dedicated to fostering sustainable and vibrant city centres.

”The certification provides validation that our sustainable production in Sweden and responsible material choices benefit everyone involved.”Henrik Edlund, CEO at Nola
Nola is pleased to announce that products from our popular Kajen furniture range were recently awarded the Nordic Swan Ecolabel. The Swan eco-labelling initiative certifies that products are environmentally, socially and economically sustainable, and conform to guidelines agreed by the Scandinavian countries and policy mandates regulated by the European Union.
”Production of our own products is solely based in Sweden.”
For us at Nola, sustainability is grounded in the ideas around how society and the cities of the future will function in symbiosis. Acting responsibly and being conscious about the decisions we make is fundamental to a sustainable future. We let design take its time so that what we make is properly consolidated into something that will be loved for as long as it lasts.
Whether a bench with a park view, a canopy in an urban harbour, or a sculptural structure on a busy plaza, our designs respond to the site, its people, and its potential — making space, not taking it.
At Stockholm Furniture Fair 2025, Nola presented a contemporary take on the folkpark — a place where community, creativity, and inclusion took centre stage. The exhibition showcased new products alongside a vision for urban spaces that connect generations and inspire togetherness.
In our latest film, Good Garden describes the key aspects of designing these environments and shares their perspective on how our products contribute to accessibility and activity.
The absence of public spaces that nurture togetherness and collective spirit leaves a significant mark on society. Loneliness, depression, and physical inactivity are rising, particularly in the Nordic countries, where long winters and cultural habits deepen isolation.
Travel hubs are gateways to new adventures and the first impression of a destination. As urbanisation accelerates, these key locations grow in importance.
In the past, architects were often referred to as master builders, entrusted with curating the complete essence of a place. While the role has evolved, the belief in the power of site-specific design prevails.
Nola’s initiative at the recent Stockholm Furniture Fair was designed to make our participation as waste-free as possible. Our products weren’t displayed in a trade fair stand that had to be built, but presented in a public area.. Our approach challenged the way that products and the public can interact, which shifted the belief that post-construction waste is inevitable at trade shows.
Nola recently took to the streets, putting our StyrUpp bicycle parking system to the test. Installed where it will make the most impact, the new product will be used by urban cyclists for twelve months. As the pilot project test-drives Nola’s know-how, it’s keeping the city of Stockholm at the forefront of intercity cycling.
”The tool is intended to support architects in their creative work”
Now there is a new digital planning tool for the Korg furniture system. The tool makes it possible to spatially create and test ideas and solutions according to your specific requirements. The planning tool is intended to support architects in their creative work, at the same time giving a concrete result with a clear product specification.
At Nola we proudly consider ourselves as committed community problem solvers; and our work has always stemmed from real human needs.
Nola took its current shape in the 1980 when Agneta Stake took over the company. With great community involvement, passion and sensitivity towards the prominent architects and urban planners of the time, she sculpted a company that would become a guide for how the urban environment could appear and function.

Nola has received a variety of awards over the years. Here are some of the highlights.
Together with designers, architects and creatives, we shape urban environments. Our ambition is that every collaboration holds the potential to become a product. Bring us your ideas and let’s work them into a reality.
Our products and projects are defined by the value they bring to the process of creating them, and where they will be used. We’re always looking for new ways to create expressive, timeless design that will be cherished and used.
Our own products are made in Sweden to bring the very best, most sustainable, locally produced products and furniture for the public outdoor sector.
