The Hyllie Coffee Table is specially designed for the Hyllie Terrace atrium in collaboration with Skanska and Swedese Studio.
Due to Dutch elm disease, many elms have been felled in southern Sweden. Thanks to a sawmill owner in Småland who took care of it for many years, it was possible to use it for the project. Cracks and marks were preserved in order to maximize the material’s use. The shape of the coffee table is inspired by the soft grain and tactile qualities of the elm. Its natural color and variations added extra warmth to the interior.
Hyllie Terrace completed in 2023, is Skanska’s first climate-neutral project and is one of the few projects in Sweden that is part of the Sweden Green Building Councils.
