The chest of drawers named 'Flora Linné' was created on the occasion of Carl von Linné's 200th anniversary and was inspired by Linnaeus' summer home Hammarby, where the hand-colored copper engravings by Georg Dinysius Ehret were used as wallpaper in Linnaeus' bedroom. Estrid Ericson visited Hammarby in 1930 and got the idea to use the colourful prints in interiors and on furniture.
The Florabyrå Linné was presented in the spring of 2007 and has been produced in a limited edition of 50 copies.
