the health trend has spread to the workplace and despite the fact that we live in a cold country, there is a growing interest to move the office outdoors. But to more to be able to work out the needed protection from the wind and weather, and, above all, from the sun’s rays, which Lovisa Pettersson and her sister took on. There is a need of good and affordable furniture as well. Something like chairs under 500.
” today, we are doing everything indoors. It is difficult to sit out and work with a screen because the sun dazzles, but it is time that we begin to adapt to the development of technology and the world we live in today.
office chair The bug has been developed with inspiration from the tordyveln, whose shell protects the insect like the chair to protect the user. The chair can be rotated 360 degrees and träplankorna in the ”ceiling” and ryggparti is cut in a way that in addition to remove the reflections in a computer screen also provides a light noise effect.
– Parents gladly put their children in the ”rain or shine”-pre-schools that it says that it is so important that children get plenty of fresh air, and the first thing they ask when they pick the kids up is ”how much have you been out today”. The question sets themselves never adults. It becomes a kind of extreme contrast, ” says Lovisa Pettersson, who has worked as a preschool teacher for several years.

the Furniture is also designed on the basis of a hållbarhetskoncept which means that production had to take his time. All production is from Gävle, sweden, where she lives and the technology and materials are carefully selected, for example, is the wood värmeimpregnerat. But it has its price.
– We are spoiled that we can buy almost anything for ten bucks, but it is really completely unreasonable if you ask mother nature. We probably need to re-evaluate what should go to buy for a tenner. I hope and think many today understand the value of social and ecological sustainability, not everything is about economics.

two weeks ago, opened the first furniture at Sandbacka park outside Gävle, a little over a year after the exhibition. In a year it grew into something none of the sisters had been able to foresee. Today, Lovisa Pettersson on your own company Lovisaofsweden, while her sister, who wanted to focus on the design, receive a royalty.
Despite the fact that she does not regret the decision, it has meant that she had to sacrifice time from what she really is passionate about.
“Right now I’m incubators, I work with finance and sales, it does not give so much time for design of the moment,” she says.
In February asked Lovisa Pettersson out on the furniture fair in Älvsjö, and may demand from Germany, the Uk and Denmark. She has described herself as a duracellkanin.

” One moment, I’ll be the best at sales, the other on to talk about the product, third, I shall stand on a dirty stålverkstad and keep an eye on the production. But it is also the one that has been fun, ” she says.
” I had with me experience from the fashion industry and thought it would be a pretty bufflig way to get around in such a male-dominated industry. But it has been something completely different in this industry. I have received nice help and here to support each other instead of seeing each other as competitors. I did not feel in any way that I encountered problems because I am young and a woman. On the contrary.
