Jonas Bohlin
Jonas Bohlin was born in Stockholm in 1953 where he got the GCE at A level from technical high school in 1974 and took the Interior Architect examination from Konstfack (The National College of Art, Craft and Design) in Stockholm.
He lives and works in Stockholm where he is well known for the artistical approach to his work, focused on the connections between architecture, functions and life itself.
Bohlin’s works range from furniture, light fittings, glass and textiles, to art objects and installations.
It also comprises huge projects, like the creation of a new design education or an eighteen months long happening, comprising the build of a traditional, Swedish boat for four rowers, and climaxing in a three month rowing session on the channels of Europe, from Stockholm to Paris. That project was called LIV, the Swedish word for life.
At the moment Jonas Bohlin teaches Interior Design at Konstfack (The National College of Art, Craft and Design) in Stockholm.
