Clas Ohlson founded our company in 1918 as a mail order business in Insjön, in Dalarna, Sweden.
What started as a bicycle workshop quickly developed into one of Sweden's largest mail order companies. Among other things, Clas Ohlson helped furnish Sweden by offering furniture drawings that were sold in the hundreds of thousands.
The first store outside of Insjön opened in 1991, and since then we have established over two hundred stores in Sweden, Norway and Finland.
