In 1989 I sewed my first Nordic tipi in the basement of an old school building in Moskosel, Swedish Lapland. Though my tools and skills were modest, I wanted to make the best tents in the world.

Since then we've sold tents on all continents and we've created a Nordic tipi event industry employing hundreds of people around the world.

We also moved from the basement – we now own the factory down the road.

No matter how much we've grown, our mission remains the same: to make the best tents in the world, and to treat our customers, staff and the environment with respect.

I still run Tentipi today, with my lifelong passion for innovation and design.
