Fanett
An icon relaunched
More swedish than ever
Fanett has always been manufactured at the factory in Edsbyn. Now, more wood from Swedish forests is used than ever before, as birch from Hälsingland has replaced imported beech in the backrest.
Slightly higher than the original
The new Fanett Chair 55T has a slightly higher seat height than the original, to meet today’s standards. The same applies to the Fanett Tabouret.
Truly lightweight – just 2.7 kg
Fanett’s low weight makes it easy to move and reposition – an important advantage for workplace ergonomics. A lighter chair also means more efficient transport, resulting in lower carbon emissions.
Versatile in design
Fanett’s wide range of options makes it equally at home in private settings as in public spaces – always in harmony with its surroundings.
Fanett
The Fanett Chair 55T and Fanett Tabouret were originally created to make use of leftover wood from our ski production. Over time, they became icons – now ready to step into the future.
Now, we are proudly reintroducing the long-awaited Fanett in the 55T model, with a few subtle updates to the original design. Both the chair and the stool have been slightly elevated to align with today’s standards.
Some things are new quality and style remains
Edsbyn’s production of stick back chairs began as early as 1936 as a way to make use of leftover wood from the ski manufacturing.
Fanett was introduced in 1949, when Lennart Karlstorp, head of the stick back chair production, developed a chair that minimized both weight and manufacturing costs. A few years later, this design was further refined by Ilmari Tapiovaara and given the model name 55T.
Sales took off, and by the time Fanett went out of production in 1970, over 5 million chairs had been sold. Ever since, we’ve been asked to bring it back.
Heritage by Edsbyn
The goal of “Heritage by Edsbyn” is to preserve Swedish furniture craftsmanship by bringing both iconic and contemporary furniture into a sustainable future.
