Anka About Designers

Affordable Swedish Design

Pioneering Swedish designers Anders Fällman and Kjell Hagström envisioned a world where children’s furniture coexisted harmoniosly with modern home décor. They listened to what parents wanted, observed what children needed, and in 2003 introduced the Svan High Chair to rave reviews.

Brenda Berg's company, Scandinavian Child, was founded on the principles of the Svan brand, and adopted Svan as its flagship product line. In response to the growing demand for more affordable Swedish Design, Brenda commissioned Anders and Kjell to create a product that was still in keeping with Scandinavian Child's "designs without compromise" philosophy. In less than a year, Anders and Kjell presented a prototype high chair to Scandinavian Child. The new design was evaluated and given its first real world test. After some retooling, testing and tweaking of this innovative high chair, the new Anka™ by Svan® line was born!
