"It feels great to be part of Nola's continued journey in designing urban environments and actively contributing to how our public space is constantly changing," says Henrik Edlund.

"Since the early 1980s, Nola has been a leading player in the industry, working in close collaboration with the country's most progressive designers," adds Agneta. "When I started talking to Henrik about taking over as CEO, I realised that we had both a common view of entrepreneurship and a shared understanding of Nola's recipe for market success."

Agneta Stake will continue her work in Nola, together with Henrik, her daughters and Nola's knowledgeable employees, with a continued focus on developing and creating tomorrow's products for the public environment.
