What Skandiform does

Skandiform AB is a Swedish designer and manufacturer of furniture and acoustic solutions for offices and public environments, founded in 1962 and headquartered in Vinslöv, Skåne. The product range is organized into five categories: chairs and armchairs (families including Primo, Fendo, D2, Bolero, Bombito, Canard, Alba, Roll), lounge seating and sofas (Fendo lounge, Primo lounge, BEasy, Nestor modular sofas), tables (Primo, Tinnef recycled-plastic tables, Roll standing desk), sound absorbents (Unfold Memo, Deep Forest, Näver W), and accessories (Allé plant dividers, Hedge divider, Alm and Roll coat racks). Underlying technology combines Scandinavian craftsmanship with circular-economy material inputs, notably 100% recycled plastic tabletops, recycled aluminum bases, FSC-certified wood and Soundfelt/hemp acoustic panels, all manufactured and quality-controlled in the Vinslöv factory and certified under ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, FSC Chain of Custody (FSC-C010544) and Möbelfakta.

Skandiform operates a B2B, sales-led go-to-market model, with four named regional sales representatives covering Stockholm/Northern Sweden/Export, Gothenburg/Central Sweden/Export, Malmö/Southern Sweden/Norway/Export, and Norway, supported by an authorized dealer network across Scandinavia and a showroom at the Sjömansinstitutet in Stockholm. Revenue is generated almost entirely through hardware sales (chairs, armchairs, sofas, tables, sound absorbents and accessories) to enterprise, public-sector and institutional buyers; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled on a quote basis. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales and channel resellers (dealers), with marketing delivered through the company website, social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest), design events such as Stockholm Design Week and showroom-based customer engagement.

Since 2004 Skandiform has operated as a subsidiary of the Kinnarps Group, one of Europe's largest furniture manufacturers, allowing it to retain its own brand and designer-collaboration identity (with designers such as Stefan Borselius, Nina Jobs, Lars Hofsjö, Kauppi & Kauppi, Claesson Koivisto Rune, Bonpart and Margot Barolo) while accessing parent-group scale and channels. The company runs on a seasonal product-launch cadence, with Spring and Autumn collections each year, and is currently organized as a private limited company (Skandiform AB) with a headcount in the 11-50 band and no disclosed revenue or external funding.
