Bla Station- there are other Swedes who make chairs and tables In 1986,
Börge Lindau (1932-1999) founded the family firm Bla Station in the Swedish
town of Ahus, a small coastal town in the South-East of the country. Until then,
Börge Lindau had worked in the designer team Lindau & Lindekrantz (his
partner was Bo Lindekrantz), which he left in order to realise his own conceptions.
His years of experience designing seating furniture for the company Lammhults
Mekaniska, formed the foundation for the tables, chairs and armchairs he went
on to produce. He returned to his hometown and Bla Station was born: Swedish design
of a special kind. Swedish tradition, classic shapes and individuality with the
highest precision with metal as the base and produced in series is Bla Stations
trademark. Experimentation with various materials is the path to the goal: the
designer-chair. For processing aluminium, a special technique(extrusion technique)
was first perfected, in order to achieve an optimum result. For this reason, the
chair STING was awarded the red dot award in 2004. This prized chair can be found
in the Proformshop. Börge Lindau made many tables and chairs from birch wood
and rust-resistant steel. Today, his children Mimi and Johan are continuing his
basic ideas and producing them industrially in big numbers. Other young designers,
such as Tomuyuki Matsuoka, Jonas Forsman or Christine Schwarzer make sure that
ever new ideas in aluminium, plant tanned leather, wood (birch massive laminated
or plywood veneered) and steel find owners around the world. Thereby the furniture
pieces adjust perfectly to any environment. Whether used privately or commercially,
Bla Stations tables and chairs impress with their timeless and sleek elegance,
functionality and design. Other pieces from Bla Station are the armchair PEEKABOO,
the table CLIP by Jonas Forsmann and the stackable chair Chair 69 by Fredric Mattson.
