Zero Interiör

Zero Interiör was founded in 1978 with the vision of making unique light fixtures for a design-interested audience. These products, in combination with a deep understanding of how best to illuminate public indoor and outdoor environments, is at the heart of their identity. From the start, Zero’s creation of unique environments has been praised in both Sweden and abroad, thanks to their guiding principles: quality, environmental care and innovation.

Insight

“The founders thought Zero was an appropriate name, since we were starting from nothing.”

That headline is a quote from Roland Gill, member of the board and one of Zero’s two founders. He became acquainted with the other founder, Andris Nolendorfs, during his time as a designer at Orrefors Glasbruk’s department for light fixtures in Flygsfors, where Andris was the site manager.

Information

At the glassworks they became acquainted with designer duo Börge Lindau & Bo Lindekrantz whose task was to create new products, including some new ideas about light fixtures made of perforated metal that, for obvious reasons, Orrefors was not interested in. However, Roland and Andris saw the potential and thought it was so exciting they started Zero. From nothing, right in the centre of Nybro.
