“I believe that we live under some kind of resonance law. Surroundings, rooms, furniture and things – they all have an effect on us. In this play, that is our life, the stage has to agree with the way we want to feel – but also affect the way we feel.”

Jonas Lindvall

Lindvall was educated as an interior architect in Gothenburg, Sweden, studied furniture design both at Royal College of Arts in London and Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. After finishing his studies he returned to his hometown Malmö were he started his own office. His commissions have been many and diverse.
