CALVEA initiates collaboration with influencer Felix Lundin
CALVEA AB is proud to announce a new collaboration with Felix Lundin – better known as @felkansnickrar – one of Sweden’s fastest-growing construction influencers on social media. Throughout 2025, Felix will be using CALVEA’s DropOff Byggmästartrall in his own building projects, while also introducing the product to his rapidly expanding audience.
Felix, who has established himself as one of the country’s most influential voices in the construction and DIY segment, combines his background as a property caretaker and his passion for skiing with educational and inspiring content for both professionals and hobbyists. With the most visited construction account in Sweden on Instagram, he has become a respected figure in the renovation and building industry.
“I was really impressed when I heard about the patent and this double-curved profiling. It’s a fantastic product, with great durability and clear benefits. And then working with a major and serious partner like Valbo Trä, which ensures delivery capacity and meets high demand – that really feels solid,” says Felix Lundin about his decision to collaborate with CALVEA.
The collaboration means that DropOff will be showcased in real construction projects and campaigns throughout the year. In conjunction, a competition will be launched where followers have the chance to win a deck construction using DropOff Byggmästartrall.
“We’re very excited to work with Felix – he’s genuine, talented, and shares our philosophy about the product,” says Christoffer Svanströmer, CEO of CALVEA.
The first project kicks off shortly after Easter, and more information will be published through CALVEA’s and Felix Lundin’s channels.

Ernst Kirchsteiger becomes a shareholder in CALVEA
Ernst Kirchsteiger becomes a part-owner of the Småland-based family company CALVEA AB and enters into a collaboration around DropOff Byggmästartrall® – a revolutionary Swedish invention for all decking projects.
CALVEA’s patented DropOff Byggmästartrall is a water-repellent profile for decking boards intended for outdoor flooring. The board is double-convex, which means it can be installed with either side facing up – simplifying construction, reducing waste, and ensuring a long-lasting result. Its unique shape effectively channels away water, minimizing the risk of rot and extending the lifespan of the deck – all at a comparable price to traditional decking.
Ernst Kirchsteiger, one of Sweden’s most well-known public figures, has become a part-owner of CALVEA and will also serve as the face of DropOff. The goal is to introduce the product to the broader consumer market, where DropOff becomes the obvious choice for any decking project. Ernst’s involvement marks the launch of this new initiative.
“Exciting things are happening right now!”
“I’ve been given the opportunity to invest in and collaborate around one of my absolute favorite materials – wood. To be part of launching a new Swedish invention is a great joy to me. It’s all about brilliant simplicity – a simplicity that makes a big difference and benefits many, from the forest owner to the end consumer.”
— Ernst Kirchsteiger
Ronny Svanströmer, founder of CALVEA, has many years of experience in both the timber and financial industries and is the mind behind the patent and invention.
“In the impossible, there are opportunities.”
“Since the beginning of my professional journey, this has always been a guiding principle. And nothing exemplifies this better than our invention. To be granted a patent for something as seemingly simple as a plank, and through that path get the chance to work with so many inspiring people, is for me the ultimate proof that sometimes, reinventing the wheel isn’t such a bad idea after all.”
— Ronny Svanströmer
DropOff Byggmästartrall is currently available through a number of building supply chains via CALVEA’s partnership with Valbo Trä.

CALVEA presents DropOff - The decking of the future!
DropOff represents a paradigm shift in the timber industry by simply eliminating all the most common problems associated with traditional wooden decking.
The double-curved profile ensures that the decking board always ends up with the correct side facing up, regardless of how it’s installed.
The lifespan of the deck is extended because the DropOff board’s design eliminates damage caused by water accumulation.
The curved shape provides natural grip and slip resistance. It also results in a deck that is very comfortable to walk on.
All of this – at the same price as traditional decking.
We proudly introduce DropOff.
The new standard for all decking.
