Nola's classic bench for Kungsträdgården back in production
When Kungsträdgården was redesigned before Stockholm became the European Capital of Culture in 1998, the architectonic portrayal ended up with the architect Aleksander Wolodarski. In a unique collaboration between Nola, Wolodarski and the former city gardener Carl-Fredrik Wachtmeister, a new backed bench was developed, based on an older model in cast iron. The bench is now back in production.
Healthy training in the urban environment
Nola strikes a blow for healthy urban environments. Outdoor training at attractive outdoor gyms should be a natural feature of the cityscape and should be included right from the planning stage of urban development. Exercising outdoors creates healthy cities, natural meeting places and improves public health, something that is hugely important in these times.
New backed bench with a timeless aesthetic
In collaboration with Note Design Studio and Gunilla Allard, Nola has developed a unique backed bench, Sigill.

Sigill is presented during the Stockholm Furniture Fair.
