In close cooperation with emerging and established designers we create furniture for pause and interaction.
Mitab today
Mitab is a family-owned Swedish design company now in its second generation of leadership. 2019 marks Mitab’s 40th anniversary, a milestone that is tribute to our philosophy of simplicity, functionality, elegance in form and flexibility. The result is furniture that is innovative, intuitive and inspiring.
A cadre of established and emerging designers striving for excellence and innovation drive the design of every Mitab product, which are manufactured responsibly in Sweden with the lightest environmental footprint possible.
At Mitab we love what we do. We develop products with the intention to create freedom and ease for our users to focus their energy on their passion. We believe that passion creates great things. We help our users to create their own great things.
Our history
Since its founding in 1979, Mitab has continuously evolved, driven by the vision, dedication, and determination of founder Jan-Olof Torstensson. An ambitious entrepreneur with a talent for the technical, Jan-Olof established within Mitab an uncompromising dedication to quality and design excellence.
Jan-Olof keenly understood the need to constantly adapt. Throughout his tenure he adeptly revised and redefined Mitab’s direction, moving from the residential market to contract, developing Mitab’s in-house production capabilities and expanding into international markets.
This evolution has continued under the leadership of the next generation of Torstenssons, Jan-Olof’s two sons Peter and Marcus, who were handed responsibility of the company in 2004. Like their father, the brothers’ great ambition has allowed Mitab to continue to grow whilst maintaining its founding commitment to quality and design excellence.
Continuing to work with and nurture daring designers, Peter and Marcus have developed an evolving range of timeless yet exciting contemporary furniture with a renewed focus of serving the Architectural and Interior Design communities. By listening closely to their need of new design solutions for our rapidly changing modern working environments Mitab offer innovative, functional products of the most exacting quality for any application or setting.
The Mitab design philosophy
At Mitab, we don’t hide anything: we believe that honesty lasts. By using clear, graphic design and revealing its construction, the functionality of our furniture becomes simply intuitive.
This is a philosophy shared by the many established and emerging designers we collaborate with. Through our commitment to nurturing young talent, Mitab has been able to help many emerging designers become established, including Form Us with Love, Note Design Studio and Jonas Wagell, to mention just a few. And we continue this work at an even younger age through our partnerships with Swedish design schools and the sponsorship and mentoring of design competitions.
We are proud of our local heritage and roots. Manufacturing locally within our own factories gives us much greater control and adaptability over design and production even at low quantities, ensuring the highest quality and the most stringent environmental standards are adhered to. To do as much as possible as close as possible is our philosophy.

Campfire is a collection of sophisticated, surprisingly simple furniture catering for the modern nomadic work environment. Comprising six pieces – two benches, a large circular bench, a low table, a screen and an occasional table – the range is inspired by the designers’ emotional response to the concept of a campfire: an inviting, warm, informal place where people come together and share. Campfire’s versatile, free-standing design and lightweight construction means the pieces can be easily moved and reconfigured, offering a fluid setting and creating a ‘place’ in any space.
