Taking the swedish legacy into the future

Minus tio makes furniture in a Swedish context, using classic materials such as wood, steel and leather. The design of each piece is based on a strong central idea which takes expression in consistent design, refined detailing and durable solutions. All furniture is manufactured in Sweden and special care is always taken to the environmental impact.

Manufacturing

To create great furniture Minus tio keeps a close relation between the design and the manufacturing. The techniques used are often a combination of traditional craftsman skills and modern high tech solutions, both having a strong connection to the Swedish heritage.

Environment

Since the start the company has focused on environmental issues. Materials as well as processing methods are chosen with great consideration of their environmental impact and manufacturing is kept close to minimize transport. Further more the furniture is designed and manufactured to last many years, thereby keeping the use of resources low.

Minus tio was founded by Ingrid Svensson and Olle Wingård in the winter of 2007. The name comes from a perfect cold day with bright sunshine, a fine snow cover and minus ten degrees. The air of that day is reflected in the design of the furniture as well as in the structure of Minus tio. Sharp and complete, with closeness to nature and natural materials.
