Helena & Bjorn: The Legacy Redefined
In 2019, Helena and Bjorn inherited Ljus Träverk, the renowned wooden lighting workshop founded by their father in Växjö, Sweden. For decades, their family has mastered the art of shaping light through natural materials, creating pieces that blend warmth with precision. Driven by a shared vision and a deep respect for Scandinavian craftsmanship, Helena and Bjorn chose to preserve this heritage while guiding it into a new era of contemporary design.
From this evolution, Skandia Lights was born—a name that evokes the quiet strength and refined beauty of the North. Inspired by nature and timeless architecture, every creation embodies the harmony between material and light. Our collections blend rare woods, polished brass, and hand-blown glass, revealing a subtle balance between simplicity and sophistication.
Inside the Skandia workshop, every fixture is imagined and designed with meticulous care. Every detail is considered; every curve and surface is refined until the object seems to come alive. The artisans' work is deliberate and patient, guided by a philosophy that values time, intention, and perfection.
Beyond their primary function, Skandia lights are designed to create an atmosphere. They illuminate spaces softly, inviting serenity and harmony. Each piece carries the purity of Nordic light, the calm of Swedish landscapes, and the emotion of craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation.
Today, Skandia Lights continues to illuminate interiors around the world, staying true to its origins. Each lamp tells a story of art, authenticity, and timeless elegance, proving that true luxury lies not in excess, but in elevated simplicity.

Helena & Bjorn: The Legacy Redefined
In 2019, Helena and Bjorn inherited “Ljus Träverk,” their father’s renowned wooden lighting company in Växjö, Sweden. Over the years, they transformed it into Skandia Lights, a symbol of refined Scandinavian luxury.
Each creation harmoniously blends noble materials such as rare woods, polished brass, and hand-blown glass, enhanced by a minimalist and timeless design. Every luminaire is imagined and meticulously crafted in their atelier, reflecting exceptional craftsmanship and a contemporary vision of enduring elegance.
Building on their success, Helena and Bjorn relocated to New York in 2023. From there, they now oversee the expansion of the brand in the United States and internationally, taking their Swedish heritage to a global stage.
Every Skandia Lights creation begins its story in our Växjö atelier.
Here, light is imagined, shaped, and refined with quiet precision. On the same wooden tables once used by our father, each concept evolves from a pure idea into an intricate blueprint. Every curve, surface, and reflection of light is studied, balanced, and perfected by hand.
This devotion to in-house design ensures that every luminaire is far more than an object of function. It is a work of art born from patience, intuition, and mastery. Crafted with the meticulous eye of an artist and the foresight of an engineer, each piece embodies the essence of Scandinavian refinement, a union of calm strength, timeless elegance, and human touch.
