About MALMSTENS ALUMNI

Malmstens Alumni is a nonprofit association started in 2019 on the initiative of long time Malmstens Director, Master Cabinetmaker, Furniture Conservator and Educator Ulf Brunne. The purpose of Malmstens Alumni is to bring together a diverse group of professionals with the common denominators Malmstens and Wood, including art historians, cabinetmakers, upholsterers, conservators, luthiers/guitar builders, designers and artisans. Our motto is knowledge shared is knowledge doubled.

OUR GOAL

As a wood craft artisans node and alumni cluster our goal is to strengthen the alumni network both nationally and internationally, promoting life long learning and creating inclusive further education opportunities. We aim to inspire professional networking and collaboration between all the Malmstens alumni to lay ground for creative teamwork within the field of furniture studies. By organising workshops, masterclasses, seminaries and symposiums in fine cabinetmaking, furniture conservation, furniture design and uppholstery, Malmstens Alumni aims to encourage research in the field of wood, furniture history, materials, techniques and design to enhance the status of handcraft in the meta-modern society.
