About Retroaktiv Design
Based in Stockholm's Hornstull district, Retroaktiv Design was founded by Stefan Ringström in 2007. Stefan's collection features furniture, lighting and accessories from numerous design eras of the twentieth century. He scouts out and refurbishes objects from across Europe. The selection process here is not necessarily based on the object's well-known designer or manufacturer, but instead based upon its individual charm and unique story.
