BRIKOLÖR Information

Brikolör designs and manufactures furniture in Göteborg Sweden. We have the ambition to manufacture furniture with a guaranteed emotional and technical durability of 300 years. We asked ourselves what responsibility we have when creating new things and soon re-phrased that question to ask ourselves both what gives us the right to create anything new at all in a world full of products, we even extended the question to 'why do I create'. While the questions still remain partly unanswered we at least felt that we wanted to strive for a durability and a sort of value of the product itself, a quality within. The aim is to be able to actually guarantee 300 years durability, emotionally and tech-wise. That means a product that has qualities enough for the user to want a lasting relationship with it. And, that it keeps its function over time. On the following pages (click to continue) you are going to be able to read more of our thoughts and questions. Feel free to download the articles and to quote us as much as you want, as long as you state the source (Brikolör) and lets us know about it (send us an email or something) you can even reprint the texts that you find here, anywhere you like. And that goes for everyone, not only journalists. We like to know what you think, so feel free to follow us on Twitter, join our Facebook or just give us a call, send us an e-mail or pay us a visit. Our ultimate goal is to save the world, maybe that way goes trough a world of less products but with longer life-cycles.
