About Bengt Ek Design

Quality, functionality, beauty, and service are the guiding principles we follow at Bengt Ek Design. In 1975, Bengt Ek left his homeland Sweden and moved to the city of Lucerne in Switzerland, where he founded Ek International together with his father, the brand now known as Bengt Ek Design. A factory was built, and the first product was produced. Bengt Ek grew up spending most of his time in a factory in a small village in Sweden called Smålandstenar. Bengt’s professional design career began at the early age of 15, creating and designing products for local companies. In 1970, Bengt Ek was admitted to Konstfack Skolan (University College of Arts and Design). Anticipating that the future of production lay in the Far East, Bengt Ek started traveling to Asia to find new ways of production while still keeping quality the number one priority. Over the years, the brand has become synonymous with quality, innovativeness, and service. The company is constantly evolving and creating new trends. Bengt Ek Design distributes worldwide and is represented in many of the top design shops all over the globe. Products have been displayed at numerous museums such as the MoMA in New York, Tokyo, and San Francisco. The mission of Bengt Ek Design is to combine quality and beauty with functionality, to give the customer satisfaction and enjoyment.Read their story
