The studio creates durable, functional products with a strong identity — guided by a thoughtful balance of aesthetics, restraint, and material awareness.
The work revolves around the search for clear ideas and strict aesthetics with a unique and strong identity. The aim is to create products and spaces that are both physically and visually durable. It is an approach to modern simplicity with a clear visual expression. With an architectural background, the working process is based on functional needs and basic human behaviour, with the aim of achieving a responsible and useful impact on our environment.
The studio's work includes collaborations with renowned clients such as Skandiform, Gejst, Born in Sweden and others. The results are restrained, challenging, and logical, and are achieved through an analytical, creative, and technical approach in close dialogue with the client.
