The House

HOUSE OF LASSGÅRD

House of Lassgård was founded by Juan David Lassgård and Hanne Lassgård as a long-term brand operating platform built on identity, origin, and disciplined execution.

The House reflects two different but complementary backgrounds: operational building and cultural narrative.

David has been building businesses since his teenage years. Over two decades, he has launched and operated nightclubs, restaurants, large-scale event platforms, global SaaS systems connected to hundreds of venues, and enterprise technology tools developed across Europe, the United States and Asia. His work spans hospitality, product development and software infrastructure — always centered on building systems that scale and endure.

Hanne grew up inside the world of international film and theatre production. As the daughter of Swedish actor Rolf Lassgård, she experienced early how identity, story and public presence are constructed over time — not as image, but as sustained cultural work. This shaped her understanding of narrative, positioning and emotional architecture at a structural level.

Together, they combine system-building with narrative intelligence.

House of Lassgård was not created to launch products quickly. It was built to develop fully owned consumer brands with control from origin to distribution — where design, sourcing, production and long-term operational integrity are aligned from the beginning.

This philosophy is not theoretical. It is grounded in four years of building the Lassgård Coffee brand internally — navigating real-world production, logistics, distribution, setbacks and refinement. The system was shaped through practice, pressure and iteration.

Identity first. Infrastructure second. Execution always disciplined.

The House exists to build brands that carry meaning — and to build the systems that allow them to last.

Team

Built at the origin.

Over four years, we transformed Lassgård into a culturally recognized consumer brand in Sweden. In 2022, we moved to Medellín, Colombia, to build direct sourcing, product development and operations at the source. What began as building our own brand became the operating foundation we now use to build athlete-owned businesses.

How we build

“How can we maximize an athlete's enterprise value while minimizing the energy required from the athlete?”

Everything this team builds starts with that constraint.
