Jonas was born in Nyköping, Sweden. After his military service he moved to Stockholm and worked as a chef. In 1998 Jonas moved to the Cayman Islands where he lived and worked for 2 years before ending up as the Sous Chef at a restaurant in Chicago. In 2001, Jonas joined the Bauhaus Apprenticeship Institute and worked closely with the late Berthold Schwaiger. This is where he obtained his basic knowledge of wood and traditional craftsman techniques. Jonas left the Bauhaus after completing his one year commitment and went on to work for other designers in different mediums to further his knowledge in building and design. In 2012 Jonas left Chicago and moved his family back to Sweden where they settled on an island in the archipelago just north of Stockholm. Until present, Jonas has been continuing to design furniture while also working closely with architects and designers to complete both high end residential, and commercial projects.
