Our Story
We met while renovating Siri’s family’s 1920s Tudor home. With storage space at a premium in this historic home, we set out to incorporate valuable medicine cabinet storage to complement every bath.
But when it came to finding a cabinet that matched the home’s level of detail and craftsmanship, there simply wasn’t anything on the market that inspired us.
We established Ättlingar for those who crave the functionality of a medicine cabinet, without compromising style. Steeped in the Swedish woodworking traditions of Siri’s ancestors, we welcome you to explore our collection.
