Sustainability and an overarching ambition to "do good" are common among this year's four finalists for Landmärket 2023 — the Swedish Architects' award for the best landscape architecture of the year. Among them is Bobergstorget by Sweco, furnished with the Harads furniture series. A modern meeting place with a rich cultural heritage where the landscape architects have preserved the feeling of the artisanal environment, with furniture being one of the tools for the transformation.
Congratulations to Sweco and Stockholm City's development office, and fingers crossed for the upcoming award ceremony.

Since the late 1980s, Nola has been a regular at Stockholm Furniture Fair. For us, it’s more than just a tradition – it’s a key part of our year. We look forward to being there again in 2025 and hope to see you there too.
The Malmö City Urban Development Award 2024 goes to Hyllievång Park. A big round of applause to the City of Malmö’s Property and Streets Department and the landscape architects at Plot Studio. We are proud to have provided the Four Seasons parasols and the Gard long-table furniture system for this park, which truly exudes a playful and inviting atmosphere.
At Nola, we continue to expand the number of EPDs across our product range. In addition to popular products like Luma, Four Seasons, and the Kajen sun lounger, the Hjorthagen and Parco furniture series are now also certified.
In May, it was confirmed that Nola has been selected as a supplier for the nationwide framework agreement with HBV within Park and Urban Environment. The agreement runs until April 7, 2026, with an option for a 24-month extension. The agreement applies to the Swedish market.
With buds blooming, sunshine, and even the recent interest rate cut, there are plenty of reasons to feel optimistic. Let's raise a glass to the good things, celebrate our unity, and look forward to the journey ahead.
