About the family business
An uncommonly comfortable family story spanning four generations
We are the Persson family from Staffanstorp. Together with our skilled craftspeople, we build beds, sofas, armchairs and many other pieces of furniture. And just as when Vilax was founded in 1949, we do it by hand, from scratch. To this day, we remain committed to making and hand-weaving every spring core from steel wire, the beating heart of every piece we create. We are the only ones who still do.
Read our story
Perhaps this makes us old-fashioned. But we find it hard to believe that comfort and truly good sleep follow any passing trend. In a world of mass production, synthetic materials and disposability, we create bespoke beds and sofas of the highest quality, pieces that become your most trusted companion, built to last for both you and the environment.
That is why we believe in design that feels timeless rather than temporary, enduring rather than disposable. We are proud that our furniture is cherished by royalty, presidents and five-star hotels, as well as by discerning families across the country.
Everything happens under one roof, here in Staffanstorp, southern Sweden. As it should be. And as the fourth generation of the Persson family joins the business, we carry the same conviction as when it all began. By hand. By family. For you.
The heart of Vilax
An ode to the spring
Ever since the Persson brothers founded Vilax in 1949, almost everything has come down to the craft, and to one small steel spring. We still hand-braid our own steel springs into a continuous spiral core that forms the heart of all our beds, sofas, and armchairs.
