”We wanted to take the same wave expression and translate it into a new scale”
The bike shed Våg was born from a site-specific project at the MAX IV research facility in Lund, Sweden. A collaboration between Nola and Snøhetta, where creativity was both method and goal.
We are proud to have contributed, together with Vitreo OY, our reseller partner in Finland, to the award-winning Hatsinanpuisto project in Espoo, recently named Environmental Structure of the Year 2024 at the Vihergaala in Finland.
Just like in previous years, we are selling all furniture and products created for Stockholm Furniture Fair – at great prices. Through this, we want to give our products a new life in more places and create value for more people.
Join us at the Stockholm Furniture Fair in Älvsjö, Stockholm. We’re thrilled to welcome Katarina Blåberg and Anette Blåberg from Good Garden to our stand.
Join us at Stockholm Furniture Fair 2025 for our vision of a contemporary folkpark — a place designed to celebrate community, creativity, and inclusion.

Greater Stockholm’s Tyresö municipality is growing and in 2018 the need for a new school became clear. Three years later, a new school was built. A large schoolyard was developed around the building to make spaces for play, movement and exercise.
The open-air theatre in Malmö’s Pildammsparken is a themed playground where people of all ages can relax, play, listen to music and watch performances.

”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.
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.
Kebne Outdoor Gym consists of five individual units for resistance training and stretching. Kebne is a complete system for building muscle tone and strength by using the body as a counterweight. With Kebne comes a community vision for creating inclusive meeting places for all people.
The secret to creating public space products with long lifespans is making them part of a regular maintenance routine. Outdoor products require continuous care, necessitating discussions between manufacturers and public space stakeholders even before they are produced. At Nola, design plays a key role in making products that require minimal maintenance while still offering maximum durability.
Nature is often the answer to what it is that makes us feel good and give us the energy we need. With our planters you are able to take a part of nature into your room or workplace, or use them to arrange a green place on your terrace. The planters also create great opportunities to build more green and living cities! Whether you are looking for something big or small, heavy or light, spectacular or discreet, we have it all.
”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.
Get involved and find inspiration on our social media platforms.
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.
