What can you leave behind in your short life?
Swedish designer,
Nils Jonsson.

A path that I thought up and paved for myself

At the age of 14, he was apprenticed in a furniture factory.
Started his career.
Then, at a young age in his late 20s,
He opens a furniture workshop in a small town in Sweden.
In his workshop, he creates products with the quality and shape that are unique to him.
He developed his own unique furniture style.
Not going to school,
Without being taught by a master,
Believing in myself and always taking on challenges
It helped the young boy grow.
Focus on your strengths, not on trends
1950s-60s,
While the interior design of the chairs and lighting was attracting attention,
He focuses on chests and sideboards.
Although it looks simple and plain overall,
Perfect size and attention to detail
The balance was evaluated as excellent.
1960 Chicago Good Design Award
Lunning Prize in 1959,
He has received numerous prestigious awards.
