“I believe that we live under some kind of resonance law. Surroundings, rooms, furniture and things – they all have an effect on us. In this play, that is our life, the stage has to agree with the way we want to feel – but also affect the way we feel.”

Jonas Lindvall

Lindvall was educated as an interior architect in Gothenburg, Sweden, studied furniture design both at Royal College of Arts in London and Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. After finishing his studies he returned to his hometown Malmö were he started his own office. His commissions have been many and diverse. As an architect Lindvall has made everything from private houses, apartments to shop- , restaurant- and hotel interiors.

As a furniture designer he has made several prize winning pieces of furniture, amongst them the Oak chair that was awarded with the “Furniture of the year award” 2001. Year 2004, Wall paper magazine listed him as one of three “wise buys” – designer of tomorrow’s most collectible furniture. He has also been awarded the “Excellent Swedish Design award” four times and the “Golden Chair award” for best interior 2004 given by the Swedish association of Architects.
His work has been purchased by several museums in Sweden. The Victoria and Albert museum in London has also bought his work.

Apart from working as an architect and furniture designer Jonas has been invited as a guest professor and critic by architect- and design schools throughout Europe and Northern America. Year 2002 he acted as a guest professor at the Universitè de Montreal in Canada.

Amongst Lindvall’s clients are Japanese IDÉE, DuPont Corian, Skandiform, Vagabond International, Ballingslöv and DeNord.
