This is our Story
"It's no coincidence that the swing has been around for nearly 3,500 years. A classic piece of furniture and toy; loved by children and adults around the world. A product that has stood the test of time, and isn't going out of style anytime soon."
Anton Stenfors
Identifying a need
Our story starts in the summer of 2010 when Anton Stenfors, the founder of Lillagunga, had a hard time trying to find a stylish quality swing for his two sons. Anton decided to make one himself and ended up taking the first steps towards designing the first model of Lillagunga Classic. The word Lillagunga is swedish and means "little swing".
Lillagunga is founded
After an in-depth period of market research, Anton realised that the first prototype was not just the answer to a father's need but addressed a gap in the market for families looking for functional and appealing swings. In 2013, Lillagunga was established with a vision to become the leading producer of reinvented design classics for every home.
Business gets going
The first year of operation totally relied on great market feedback on the Lillagunga Classic, and gradually it became evident that there was room for similar products to complete the product portfolio. The same year Lillagunga Classic won the Interior Design Reporters competition aimed at promoting carefully made design products that suit people’s everyday lives.
The prototype
2010
The first ever made prototype, crafted spontaneously by Anton Stenfors as a "rescue solution" for his sons. The idea evolved, a patent was approved and Lillagunga Classic was born.
