Our Designers

Our designers are our inspiration. They are our key to interpreting contemporary trends, reaching back into history as well as inquiring about the future. And designers do make a difference. That is why Design House Stockholm has created an unusually large network of more than 65 independent designers. Established names from Scandinavia and abroad, alongside the latest talents from the design schools, contribute to a collection where each item strives to become a classic on its own. We are on a constant outlook for designers yet-to-be discovered, as well as resurrecting the good old names.
Most of our lucky design discoveries have a story of their own. Harri Koskinen’s now world famous Block Lamp was uncovered almost by chance. “Harri cast the glass for his lamp by night at a small glassworks in Finland,” remembers Anders Färdig, founder and CEO of Design House Stockholm, “and he sold them privately to friends and design addicts. Too Italian was my immediate reaction, but five minutes later I was hooked!” Lisa Widén’s graduation project Cloud was shown at the annual design exhibition at Beckmans School of Design, all ready for production, as comfy as a chair has ever been. Daniel Östman’s now bestselling Cotton Stripe was more or less stumbled upon at one of the Christmas design sales at Konstfack, the other major design school in Stockholm. “I managed to get hold of one and believed my catch was unique,” Anders recalls, ”then I discovered that almost every one in the design business had gotten hold of one. He had devised a perfectly Scandinavian type of wide and narrow stripes organized in blocks, a graphic order all of its own which we have used for clothing and other accessories, recently expanded to a series of bed linen exclusively for the Japanese market.”
