Seffle Möbelfabrik was founded in 1909. A number of furniture makers had become unemployed in connection with the Great Strike, and found work by starting a worker-owned factory. Until 1957, the company was owned and run by the 70 or so employees. With determination and intensive marketing, the company grew to become one of West Sweden's largest furniture industries in 1930. In 1957, the company was sold to Kaj Bonnier/String Design AB. In 1971, String-Seffle was taken over by Varia Industrier AB in Flen, which during these years was owned by Edvard Söderberg. He was also CEO of String-Seffle from 1972 to 1976. The company was declared bankrupt in 1979, and the company archive was destroyed. The project aims to document Seffle Möbelfabrik and its 70-year history. In addition to a description of the products and operations in Säffle, the documentation provides a picture of the development of Swedish furniture manufacturing - from craftsmanship to rational industry. Like many other companies, the company made a major investment in design in the 1950s. In 1960, every third piece of furniture was exported. In the 1970s, String-Seffle was not alone in being affected by the recession, changing consumer habits and competition in the form of increasing furniture imports. Seffle Möbelfabrik belonged to the group of furniture companies that focused on high-quality furniture. The result of the documentation will be published in book form, with factual text and rich visual material. Material and knowledge will be gathered from archives and a large number of private individuals.
