Vårväderstorget with Långbordet is Sweden's First Safety-Certified Square

2024–05–15

In 2020, Gothenburg City Council aimed to eliminate vulnerable areas. Framtidenkoncernen, including GöteborgsLokaler, played a key role, investing heavily in Vårväderstorget. Over two years, the square transformed into Trädgårdstorget, inspired by a garden city vision. Green facades and roofs and inviting greenery are some things that now encourage gatherings. Enhanced safety features also include better lighting and signage.

To ensure the square meets safety standards, it has been certified according to the principles of the BoTryggt2030 handbook by Stiftelsen Tryggare Sverige.

Nola encourages similar initiatives strengthening both community and urban spaces, often collaborating with architects and city planners to develop site-specific projects and products. Långbordet, born in a neighborhood in Helsingborg with similar challenges, exemplifies our commitment to creating safer, more vibrant communities.

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.

As the calm settles, we reflect on the design week and can once again confirm that things are best done together. Therefore, we extend a big thank you to all visitors, partners, and designers who made Stockholm Design Week and the Furniture Fair a successful and enjoyable event.
