“Peace, Love and Good Design!”

During Blå Station’s early years you would find furniture prototypes in one corner of the building and art exhibits and jazz concerts in other. The place became known as the “Station”. But where does Blå come from?

Blå Station’s founder, furniture designer Börge Lindau, used the signature B-L-Å on drawings – the B and the L being the initials of his first and last name and the Å representing Åhus in Sweden, where he had settled.

These early formative years set the tone for the company, both in terms of pushing design boundaries, but also remaining approachable, young-minded and people-focused.

Today Blå Station is run by Johan, Mimi and Malin Lindau - The Blå Station family. The company has firmly established itself as creative innovators, who introduce fun and humour into our interiors. The BOB Sofa has become a global success, alongside products like the Sting chair which can be found in places from Swiss schools to the New York Ballet. This vast and diverse collection of furniture deserves a deep dive.

Aside from a long-standing and ongoing collaboration with design studio Borselius + Bernstrand, Johan Lindau likes to look to the next generation of designers for new designs, regularly attending university design shows to scout for talent.

“To meet today´s demands and desires, we believe it is necessary to have an open and innovative mind, a child´s curiosity as well as a heart that rejects shortcuts and apathy.”
