Ten good reasons to
choose Kinnarps

Kinnarps has a vast experience serving customers near and far with various project sizes. Having an order-based production concentrated in Sweden enables us to manage orders quickly, giving you the advantage of getting exactly what you need at the right time. 

• Our own production and logistics chain makes us less dependent on global circumstances and provides you with a very high level of delivery reliability.
• High-capacity production facilities: 2,600 chairs and 2,000 tables produced every day.

To improve employee wellbeing, creativity and efficiency in your organisation, we design solutions considering everything from way of working and layout to acoustics, colours and lighting. A holistic, evidence-based approach to ergonomics that results in happier people and more efficient organisations.

• Continuous collaboration with ergonomists since 1952.
• Pioneers in ergonomic solutions: Kinnarps was one of the first furniture manufacturers to launch electrically height-adjustable desks on a large scale (1991).
• Over 4 million units sold of our 6000/8000/Plus office chair series, first launched already in 1993.

For us, sustainable solutions is about prioritising environmental responsibility as well as wellbeing of people and their organisations. All to ensure that you will be able to benefit from your new interior design solution for many years to come. Choosing Kinnarps is choosing sustainability all the way – from responsibly sourced materials to long-lasting solutions delivered with minimised emissions.
