More information

Finn Ahlgren (born 1977-) was previously part of the Swedish/Dutch design duo Godspeed but has been working under his own name since 2014. The sideboard is one of the first pieces that Ahlgren created and signed independently. The furniture/objects he creates are all unique and made to order. Ahlgren works conceptually with design and questions norms and traditions by using recycled materials and a design language that does not fit within the conventional framework: "Being in the middle of an ongoing process as we are, the ugly has become the beautiful and wrong has become right. Useless is now useful and worthless became valuable".
Ahlgren gained attention for his concept "Nöj dig" (Settle for Less) during Stockholm Designweek 2022.
