Daniel Lalonde, who exited Flos B&B Italia in January, has been named CEO of Vita, a division of Finland’s Fiskars Group that houses home and design brands including Georg Jensen and Royal Copenhagen. Prior to Flos B&B Italia, the luxury veteran led Sandro and Maje owner SMCP and held key roles at Ralph Lauren and LVMH.

“Daniel is a perfect fit to lead Vita, considering his extensive experience from CEO roles in world-class luxury and consumer brands,” said Nathalie Ahlström, president and CEO of Fiskars Group. “With brands such as Georg Jensen, Royal Copenhagen, Wedgwood, and Waterford, there is an incredible opportunity to increase consumer desire and develop these brands into global design icons,” Lalonde added.

In 2024, Fiskars’ Vita division generated sales of €605 million ($653 million).
