Tension reimagines the trolley by Gustav Winsth – Lammhults

Tension – A vehicle for playful expression

Designed by Gustav Winsth, Tension reimagines the trolley for the contemporary moment

With his background in mechanical engineering, Winsth summoned this industrious spirit to celebrate the trolley as a vehicle — with the custom-made, Lammhults-branded castors forming a pleasing standout feature.

Tension is inspired by both the sleek minimalism of today’s personal devices and Lammhults’ bold S70 series from the late 60s. Featuring a sturdy steel tube frame and ultra-slim shelves, the trolley is a practical addition to any interior — whether used for display, storage or hospitality. With a pared-back welded construction and a broad spectrum of pop colours or sophisticated neutrals to choose from, Tension is a mobile side table — an expression of freedom, even when confined to a quiet corner.

The trolley’s name references the tension cables on a suspension bridge and emphasises its construction as a feat of thoughtful engineering — expertly storing its cargo with a tip guard and optional non-slip leather cover equipping the lower shelf.

Designer, Gustav Winsth, explains: “A trolley is a vehicle, so I made the castors visible and integral to the overall design. Subtly inspired by skate culture, the custom mobility system gives Tension its playful personality.”
