GloFab develop and manufactures light radiating textile objects that contributes in the process of making the atmosphere at luxurious Restaurants/Clubs/Lounges/Churches even more attractive for their visitors.
Torbjorn Lundell, architect and designer, launched the project in 2003 by creating the visionary Gallery image, picturing a man sitting in a dark space surrounded by light radiating textiles. Even though the idea seems to be quite developed already back then, it actually took him and his skilled craftspeople three years until they could finally release GloFab's first creation to the market. Luckily it was well received in the press and since then, GloFab has been published globally in prestigious magazines including Frame magazine and TIME magazine. At the moment we are taking part of three exhibitions in Scandinavia and for this autumn we will hopefully be able to show our work in London and Tokyo. Our customers include top architects / lighting designers and international brands like Cartier, maker of produits de luxe.

We believe that our homes and neighborhoods should be healthy, vibrant places that uplift the spirit and gracefully fit our needs. We call for an end to poor construction, bad design, misleading marketing, unfair lending practices and environmental neglect in the housing industry. We acknowledge our collective responsibility to create CLOSE, SIMPLE, LIGHT places to live that leave a positive legacy for future generations.
provides design focused information that homeowners can use to improve the quality of how and where they live. It takes its name from the slow food movement which arose as a reaction to the processed food industry. The sprawl of cookie cutter housing that surrounds us is like fast food - standardized, homogenous, and wasteful. It contributes to a too fast life that is bad for us, our cities, and the environment. In the same way that slow food raises awareness of the food we eat and how these choices affect our lives, Slow Home empowers you to take more control of your home and improve the quality of how you live while reducing your environmental impact and futureproofing the long term investment value of your home.
