Borås congress hall
The building was designed by Borås architect Gunnar Jonsson in 1939 and has since been rebuilt and repeated several times. This time it was about a more extensive renovation where the building was restored to its original condition and new buildings were added to a congress hall with a total area of 7500 m². Over 500 chairs upholstered in the Svensson fabric Ink now adorn the building´s auditorium.
