Colorful, Customizable Bathroom Furniture from Sweden

April 16, 2014

Good news for Scandi remodelers: Swoon, a new line of bathroom furniture, is devoted to offering clean-lined basics with pick-and-choose components.

The Stockholm-based company enlisted designer Fredrik Wallner to create three collections, each comprised of a sink vanity, mirrored medicine cabinet, and tall standing cabinet. Each of these ensembles–the Side, Square, and Soft collections–come with a choice of colors, knobs, handles, legs, and faucets for custom tailoring.

Swoon has transparent manufacturing (mostly carried out in Sweden and Finland, and all of it is manufactured within Europe) and ships its products to locations across Scandinavia; the company offers its products online and plans to expand its reach across Europe soon. The whole concept–good design, simple customization, and local manufacturing–is something we hope to see make its way stateside.

Styling by Lotta Agaton and photography by Kristofer Johnsson for Swoon.
