Overview
Örsjö Belysning is a Swedish lighting company that develops and produces premium lighting by hand in its own factory in Nybro, Småland. The brand takes its name from the small village of Örsjö just outside Nybro, where the business began. For over 70 years it has maintained local, small-scale production as the foundation of its approach to quality and sustainability. As a family-owned business, Örsjö is proud of its roots and continues to manufacture its lighting products in its own factory rather than outsourcing to industrial production. The company describes its philosophy as built on simple values and strong beliefs, with an emphasis on the work of the hand. Its craftsmen weld, solder, bend, polish, paint, assemble, blow glass and carve leather in the factory or at partner workshops in the region. This craft heritage informs a design process based on materiality, allowing raw materials to come into their own. Örsjö collaborates with celebrated Scandinavian designers such as Jonas Bohlin, Folkform, Pierre Sindre and Matti Klenell, and has established itself as one of Sweden's leading lighting brands, winning several awards and accolades. Örsjö's collection spans ceiling lamps, table lamps, wall and floor fixtures, pendants and bespoke lighting. Product families include Star, Starlight, Cirkus, Karamell, Kvist, Lykta, Skyline, Stardust, Terrace, Bow, Cuff, Hobo, Streck, Ray, Plissé, Mushroom, Puck, Tratten and many others, with prices listed in Swedish kronor. The brand serves both residential and contract markets, with featured projects including Svintorget Uppsala, Home Hotel Tapetfabriken Stockholm, Skatteverket Stockholm, Botica Stockholm, Clarion Hotel Karlatornet Gothenburg, Stufvenäs Hotel in Kalmar and Hyllie Terass in Malmö. It also offers a bespoke service for custom-made lighting and a dedicated section for architects and designers. To ensure continuous improvement, Örsjö's management system is certified according to ISO 9001 for quality and ISO 14001 for environmental management. The company communicates an 11-step sustainability approach and a commitment to leaving the best possible mark on the planet. Its official website is orsjo.com, and it maintains an active news section covering factory sales, opening hours and company updates.
History
Örsjö Belysning traces its origins to the small village of Örsjö, located just outside Nybro in Småland, Sweden. The company has been producing lighting for over 70 years, and its name is taken directly from that place. From the beginning, the business has been family-owned and has kept its manufacturing in its own factory rather than shifting to large-scale industrial production. Over the decades, Örsjö developed a craft-based approach to lighting. The company states that it uses local craftsmen for its entire product range, with processes including welding, soldering, bending, polishing, painting, assembly, glass blowing and leather carving carried out in its factory or at partner workshops in the region. This emphasis on the work of the hand is presented as a link between the user and the creator that is often lost in industrial production. A key part of Örsjö's history is its long-running collaboration with Scandinavian designers. The company has worked with celebrated names such as Jonas Bohlin, Folkform, Pierre Sindre and Matti Klenell, among others. These partnerships produced many of the product families that define the brand today, including Star, Starlight, Cirkus, Karamell, Kvist, Lykta, Skyline, Stardust, Terrace, Bow, Cuff, Hobo, Streck, Ray, Plissé, Mushroom, Puck and Tratten. Through these collaborations, Örsjö Belysning established itself as one of Sweden's leading lighting brands and won several awards and accolades. The company's design process is based on materiality, allowing raw materials to come into their own, and it works with designers who adopt an applied arts approach. This has resulted in a collection of expressive and unique lighting pieces. Örsjö serves both residential customers and the contract market, with featured projects including Svintorget Uppsala, Home Hotel Tapetfabriken Stockholm, Skatteverket Stockholm, Botica Stockholm, Clarion Hotel Karlatornet Gothenburg, Stufvenäs Hotel in Kalmar and Hyllie Terass in Malmö. It also offers bespoke lighting made for specific needs and maintains a section for architects and designers. In more recent years, Örsjö has emphasized sustainability and quality management. Its management system is certified according to ISO 9001 for quality and ISO 14001 for environmental management, and the company communicates an 11-step sustainability approach. It continues to operate from Nybro, with its office and production located at Emmabodavägen 14, and maintains an active news section covering factory sales, opening hours and company updates. The brand remains family-owned and describes itself as built on simple values and strong beliefs, with the sincere intention of leaving the best possible mark on the planet.
