Swedish craftsmanship.
Sustainable materials.
We use PEFC-certified and Nordic Swan Ecolabelled pine as our raw material
All our products are manufactured in Sweden by skilled professionals, with short transport distances and minimal logistics.
At Lovisa of Sweden, we use PEFCcertified and Nordic Swan Ecolabelled pine as our raw material. The wood is heat-treated, which often gives it a longer lifespan than chemically impregnated wood and makes it virtually maintenance-free. Simply wash the furniture once a year. To maintain its golden-brown hue, the wood can also be treated with an ecological oil.
Environmentally friendly, zinc- and VOC-free primer
We use recycled steel wherever possible, with a zinc- and VOC-free primer. Our furniture is then powder-coated to keep its environmental impact to a minimum.
Our products are designed to be easy to repair, clean and maintain, so they can last for generations. A small number of components and visible craftsmanship make this possible.
We are proud to put sustainability into practice.
The hidden impact of indoor life
We are spending more time indoors than ever before, which has led to a significant increase in stress-related illnesses. Lack of recovery—through sleep and time spent outdoors—is a major contributing factor. Challenging work environment, vitamin D deficiency, and chronic stress result in high absenteeism, affecting both a company’s employee engagement and productivity.
Spending time outdoors provides fresh air and vitamin D, improving overall well-being, productivity, and creativity. Sleep quality improves, depression and anxiety are mitigated, and stress resilience increases. Employers can now focus on measuring presence and well-being
nstead of just absenteeism, making their workplaces more attractive. Sun protection enhances health by reducing direct exposure to sunligh which is particularly important for individuals at risk of melanoma.
Outdoor spaces also offer practical advantages during pandemics: viruses spread less easily outside. Moving offices or classrooms outdoors reduces the need for heating, cooling, lighting, cleaning, and maintenance, simplifying operations significantly.
According to the research report “Outside is the New Inside” (Toivanen, 2019, PhD, labor researcher & sociology professor), Swedes spend as much as 80–90% of their lives indoors.
Five reasons to invest in outdoor workspaces
“When you measure health instead of absence, you create a workplace people love to be part of.”
Investing in outdoor offices can:
- Attract and retain both customers and employees
- Strengthen your sustainability profile
- Promote healthier employees and reduce absenteeism
- Boost creativity and productivity, enhance immunity, and lower stress through increased time spent outdoors
