Gunilla Allard
Is it any wonder that you find Gunilla Allard´s face in every Scandinavian design journal? It´s not just her impressive designs, winning awards throughout Europe; one meeting with Gunilla and you feel that what she describes as the best aspect of her furniture - discreet character - also perfectly describes this charming ambassador of Lammhults.
