Örsjö

Örsjö is more than a name. It’s the place where it all started—a small village located just outside of Nybro in Småland, Sweden. For over 70 years, they’ve known that local, small-scale production is the key to making quality products equitably and sustainably. As a family-owned business, they’re proud of their roots and that they still produce their lighting products in their own factory.

They like to say that objects created by hand leave a certain indescribable sense of human touch and warmth—a link between the user and the creator that is often lost in industrial production. For that reason, the work of the hand is very important to them. They use local craftsmen for their entire product range. They weld, solder, bend, polish, paint, assemble, blow glass, and carve leather in their factory or at their friends’ workshops in the region.
