About the brand

Scandinavian design and acoustic solutions that create a more pleasant, quieter workplace.

Glimakra of Sweden is a Swedish manufacturer specialising in acoustic furniture and room acoustics solutions. The company’s history dates back to 1948 and is closely linked to woodworking, craftsmanship and the small town of Glimåkra in southern Sweden, where it still develops and manufactures its products. Glimakra combines acoustic expertise, Scandinavian design, natural materials and in-house manufacturing. The result is products that not only reduce unwanted noise but also form an integral part of architecture and interior design.

Acoustics as part of the interior

Good room acoustics have a significant impact on workplace comfort. In open-plan offices in particular, conversations, phone calls and other background sounds can affect employees’ ability to concentrate and their overall comfort.


Glimakra therefore treats acoustics as a natural part of interior design. Rather than a single universal solution, it offers a combination of wall and ceiling absorbers, desk and floor screens, acoustic furniture and spatial systems that can be tailored to each space.


Acoustic elements also serve an architectural purpose. They help divide open spaces, define individual work zones, create greater visual privacy and add colour, texture and material to the interior.

Scandinavian design

The acoustic function of Glimakra products is closely linked to Scandinavian design. Clean lines, wood and textiles, simple structures and a desire to create products that remain visually relevant for years are all characteristic features.


Glimakra works with a range of Swedish and international designers and studios. These include Kauppi & Kauppi, Superlab, Tim Alpen, Bertil Harström, Johan Kauppi, Webb and Niklas Dahlman. The company’s own design and development team also handles a significant share of product development. Bringing designers together with manufacturing and acoustic expertise makes it possible to create products in which form is inseparable from function.


Several collections have received international design awards. Award-winning products include the BuildUp Pods, Junglewall and Wakufuru systems and the LimbusFloor Subtle acoustic screen.

Sustainability

Glimakra’s approach to sustainability is rooted in principles that have been part of the company since its foundation: local manufacturing, craftsmanship, long service life and locally sourced materials.


The company uses 100% renewable energy in production and, wherever possible, favours pure, unmixed materials that are easier to recycle in the future. Local suppliers also play an important role, helping to reduce transport distances.


Glimakra of Sweden has environmental and quality management systems certified to ISO 14001 and ISO 9001. Many of its products also carry Swedish Möbelfakta certification, which assesses furniture in terms of quality, environmental impact and social responsibility.
