Local Pride

Gärsnäs are this year’s proud winner of Business Ambassador of the Year in our municipality, Simrishamn. We are deeply moved and humbled by the jury’s motivation, which echoes our commitment to our community, employees, and local suppliers. 

“With over 130 years of experience in furniture manufacturing in Gärsnäs, the company has successfully united tradition and renewal, from locally produced chairs and tables to furniture now installed at the UN headquarters in New York. Through its efforts, Gärsnäs AB demonstrates that genuine Swedish craftsmanship can reach the world without losing its soul. The company is a pioneer in sustainable design and the circular economy, giving furniture new life through reuse and care.

For Gärsnäs’ long-term work to unite tradition and innovation, its strong commitment to sustainable development, and its ability to place Simrishamn Municipality, Österlen, and Swedish design on the world map, the manufacturer has been deservedly chosen as Simrishamn Municipality’s Business Ambassador of 2025.”
