Blå Station was born out of a designer’s dream to put into production the kind
of furniture that he himself liked and which, to his mind, deserved a place in
the market. The designer was Börge Lindau, our father, known at that time as
one half of the Lindau & Lindekrantz design team.
After many successful years in the furniture industry, he chose to return to his
old home town, Åhus. His motivation to design yet another chair had begun
to wane, and he was thinking about a complete career change. He played a
lot of golf, and for a while thought about opening a fsh restaurant; he’d even
chosen the name - ”Herring & Design”. Our mother wasn’t entirely convinced,
mainly because it was she who was expected to cook the fantastic herring
dishes that would be on the menu!
But a design award combined with long walks along the coast gave new
impetus to Börge’s motivation, and his dream of manufacturing his own
products became a reality. We started Blå Station in 1986.
