Abstract [en]

As a counterpoint to globalisation, I wanted to see how locally a sofa can be produced and investi- gate how outsourcing affects Swedish production. The project is set in the Swedish region Skåne and shaped around three themes: locality, the consumer’s relationship to the product and ”design for disassembly”. The result is a deconstructable sofa made of Skåne wool, pine from the local lumber- man and linen from the last active weavery in Skåne. In this thesis I elaborate on the friction between profit-making, sustainability and consumerism and try to find answers to what production should look like in the future.

Abstract [sv]

Som en motpol till globaliseringen ville jag se hur lokalt en soffa kan produceras och undersöka hur outsourcing påverkar svensk produktion. Projektet ugår ifrån Skåne och formades efter tre teman: lokalitet, konsumentens relation till möbeln och “design for disassembly". Resultatet är en isärtagbar soffa av skånsk ull, furu från bygdens sågverk och linne från det sista väveriet i Skåne. I min uppsats resonerar jag vidare kring friktionen mellan vinstintresse, hållbarhet samt konsumtionsbehov, och försöker hitta svar på hur framtidens produktion bör se ut.
