A&E Design is one of the oldest independent industrial design offices in Sweden. The two founders, in 1968, were Hans Ehrich and Tom Ahlström. Alongside Ergonomidesign, this office has contributed greatly to making Swedish design known internationally. A&E Design has had and continues to have a large number of clients both in Sweden and abroad. Their designs have attracted attention for their aesthetic and innovative qualities, resulting in numerous design awards and articles in magazines, as well as purchases for the permanent collections of many museums, such as Röhsska in Gothenburg, Die Neue Sammlung in Munich, and others.
