O.H. Sjögren

The next event is on Saturday, 23 March, with O.H. Sjögren, one of Sweden’s most established furniture manufacturers, visiting the store at Strandvägen 5 in Stockholm. They will upholster an armchair and decorate a chair with upholstery studs on site.

O.H. Sjögren's furniture factory in Tranås has produced upholstered furniture for Svenskt Tenn since 1982. It is a time-consuming process which requires great craftsmanship. The factory was founded in 1902 by Oskar Herbert Sjögren, who early on specialised in the production of sofas and armchairs. Over time, the production has evolved, but the original idea of the highest possible quality remains the same today, over a hundred years since its inception.
