When Sweco Architects redesigned Centralplan, the open-air concourse outside Stockholm’s central train station, they decided to commission a new line of park benches for the site. The seating was designed by landscape architect Fredrik Toller with Nola chosen as the manufacturing partner. Called Arkipelag, the seats are now in place at Centralplan, ready for residents and visitors to enjoy.
From 2022, Arkipelag will be available as part of Nola’s standard seating collection.

Despite its multifaceted use, the bench has a simplicity in its design, with the same pieces of wood for all parts and bench varieties, both for the seating area and backrest. Photo: Jann Lipka.

A visit to the town square in the Stockholm suburb of Kärrtorp, where Nola has contributed with several products, inspired journalist Dan Hallemar to review the site in Arkitektur journal.
We would like to thank everyone who visited us at the Swedish Institute during Paris Design Week. Nola’s Big Basket armchairs, Kaskad chairs and Kebne outdoor gym will remain at the Swedish Institute and become permanent features in the garden. The Swedish Design Movement exhibition will be open until the 3rd of October.
Welcome to a garden party at the Edelweiss Society's old chapel. Together with Anki Gneib, we invite you to an exhibition with new design inspired by the history of the surroundings — where high societies such as Hilma af Klint and Louise Adelborg frequently appeared.
As Marimekko celebrate their 70th anniversary, designer Björn Dahlström contributes to the celebrations with a one-off version of the Kaskad armchair. The chair will be auctioned in ‘The Artists That Shaped Us’ auction at Bukowski’s in Stockholm.
As Paris Design Week approaches, Nola join the line-up of designers and manufacturers selected for the Swedish Design Movement exhibition and trade show. The event will be held in the heart of Paris at the Swedish Institute in the Marais district from 3 September to 3 October, where a programme of exhibitions, panel discussions, and talks will also take place.
The interest in workin outdoors continues and we are making additions to the Urban Office-range, designed by Superlab and researcher Charlotte Peterson Troije.
As part of the Southern Sweden Design Days event, 27–30 May, Nola is showing new products at Form/Design Center in central Malmö where visitors can try out the new normal; working under a blue sky.

Nola is right now focusing on bringing you a more complete digital experience. We have now update to the BIMobject library with this years new products Work Lounge, Schoolyard, Paus, och Gry.
We are pleased to announce that the Långbordet outdoor table received a Monocle Design Award in the Best Public Furniture category. The award was presented for the version of Långbordet White Arkitekter installed in Hamntorget, a small urban plaza in central Stockholm.
There is something special about finding oneself in a room, even if it is outside. Now you can find the new pergola system Terrass in our standard assortment.
We want to congratulate our friends at Liljewall Architects for being awarded Best Architecture 2021 for their work at Kunskapshuset, an essential part of the vast structural transformation in Gällivare, Sweden. As part of the project, Liljewall Architects designed a modular bench system that Nola proudly developed.
