Blå Station is a Swedish design furniture company, founded in spring 1986 by furniture designer Börge Lindau in Åhus — a small coastal town on the south-east coast of Sweden. The building: a former sewing factory, where art exhibitions and jazz concerts took place before production got underway. The name is multilayered: "BLÅ" encodes the initials of Börge Lindau (B + L + Å for Åhus), and "Station" refers to the atmosphere of the place — somewhere always in motion. Blå Station is a family business; after the death of Börge Lindau, his children Johan and Mimi Lindau lead the company. All production: Sweden and the Nordic and Baltic regions — a deliberate ethical choice to guarantee full control over all production stages and sustainability criteria. The company follows seven of its own criteria for sustainable development.
Designer portfolio: Stefan Borselius + Thomas Bernstrand (BOB — modular sofa system, contemporary reference to Bellini's Camaleonda and Zanuso's Lombrico; BOB Corner/Solo/Biz), David Ericsson (Pinzo — 2019 MIAW Design & Innovation Award, 6 solid pine parts; P.Y.R.), Ola Giertz (LIV table), Johan Ansander (Maximus, Max), o41 Design Studio (Dent — 3D-formed seat shell, 2013), White Architects (Turn), La Mamba Studio/CMP (Park+), Sebastien Alberdi + Gustavo Maggio (Åhus). Product categories: chairs, benches, barstools, sofas (BOB), tables, outdoor (Combo aluminium table series Borselius/Bernstrand). Materials: wood (oak, ash, pine), steel, aluminium, upholstery.
For architects and contract planners in offices, public spaces and hospitality, Blå Station is the Swedish design brand with the most consistent position in the sector — 100% Nordic production, an exceptional design culture and a product approach that explicitly sets "being better at something" as the fundamental condition for any new product.
