Explore the Unique Homeware Collections of Skultuna

For over 400 years the lustre of Skultuna brass has illuminated the world. It’s all about classic designs with a modern twist.

At Skultuna you’ll find traditional designs from the time of founder King Karl IX of Sweden. Furthermore, you’ll find ground-breaking antiquities of tomorrow by leading international designers like Gam Fratesi, Lara Bohinc, Luca Nichetto, Monica Förster, Richard Hutten and Claesson Koivisto Rune to name a few.

And herein lies the formula to why today Skultuna can be found at leading department stores all around the world. The award-winning brand have always been, and will always be, one part traditional craftsmanship and one part modernity.

 

FLWR – Bernadotte & Kyleberg

Skultuna recently teamed up with the Stockholm based design studio Bernadotte & Kylberg again. The Candleholder is therefore “Inspired by wild flowers on the side of a path through leafy and magical Swedish summer forests.” The candleholders are subsequently made of solid brass, the iconic material of Skultuna since the start in 1607.

Skultuna Rose

The model for the Rose is a seal with a Mary rose dated to 1291 from Västerås Cathedral. The Rose candlestick lay forgotten in the deep archives at the old factory in Skultuna for many years until it was brought to life again in 2021. Designed 1980s.

Opaque Objects – Skultuna x Martin Bergstrom

Inspired by the atmosphere of space and the plant Henbane. For Opaque Object, Martin Bergström wanted to intertwine Skultuna’s 400 years of history and tradition. He researched Skultuna’s rich archives. He subsequently found the history of the place and the surroundings around Skultuna and got an answer as to why King Charles IX chose this particular place to build the brass mill.

The mystique of the burial sites from the Iron Age. The proximity to the Svartå river and the deep forests. The history and traditions around the mill. These therefore inspired him to connect it with his own design and aesthetics.

The archives thus led Martin Bergström, among other things, to a meteorite that struck a few miles from Skultuna on June 28, 1876.

Flower and Herb Pots – Polished Brass

Staying true to the historic production methods of Skultuna, Monica Förster and her design studio came up with a series of Flower Pots. This is made in the very old method of metal spinning.

Metal spinning is a production method that has been in constant use during the last centuries in Skultuna. This makes it possible to make large round three dimensional objects out of sheet metal. The Flower Pots subsequently resemble classical pots made of terracotta with a small inclination in the lower part. Designed 2012.

A vase is more useful than just serving as a water source for cut flowers.

Boule Vases

These vases are called Boule, which means “sphere” in French. It embodies the most fundamental form of “containing” – the round bowl. The nearly perfect sphere containing the water opens up to a collar that holds the flowers. The three sizes therefore accommodate different forms and sizes of bouquets. This thus allows any flower arrangement to keep its form for the most attractive display.
