Our happiest memories are frequently those of childhood. More often than not, they come alive when we flip through the well-worn pages of an old photo album. However, a favourite toy, an aroma or a taste can also send us off into pleasant daydreams of times gone by. The same applies to the furniture we had as children. A little rocking chair or a cupboard can suddenly bring back a game or an event that had been almost erased from memory by the passage of time. The idea of furniture as a cherished memory is what inspires us here at Heirloom. We design and produce furniture that is intended to last for generations and carry with it more and more memories, from one childhood to the next.


Each piece of furniture we produce is unique; carefully crafted entirely by hand. We do not cut any corners. Our Theodor and Ellinor seating, for instance, has solid wood arms constructed using the dovetail method, a classic craft technique. The cushioning is made from jute, horsehair, wadding and cotton fabric. The upholstery is hard-wearing, spill-resistant leather tanned using vegetable oil. The Nora table and the Bror sideboard are designed with soft, childfriendly shapes. The sideboard does not feature any protruding knobs or fittings. The furniture has been designed by Catharina Engelholm for children between the ages of two and six. The Georg floor lamp was created for us by Patricia Trambevski at Belid. | |
