Johan Larsvall

Johan Larsvall has pursued a distinguished career as a designer. He founded Idesign 1997 which under his leadership has made every kind of design from furniture to sailing boats to electronics to graphic design to the interiors of entire public transport systems. The work with Arlanda Express, the train connecting Stockholm city with Arlanda Airport, was praised with a Red Dot Design Award 2011. Any kind of project will challenge Johan Larsvall, and naturally also the reinvention of the classical kerosene lamp, which hasn't changed a lot since its inception in the mid-19th century. He has brought his skill as an industrial designer to the reinterpretation of a classic that in its new light has acquired an abstract form inspired by an industrial aesthetic. 'I'm raised with kerosene lamps in the countryside, they have a soul of their own with a friendly glow' says Johan Larsvall. 'Fyr Kerosene Lamp was a dream to draw using basic geometrical form elements'
