TAF Studio

TAF Studio is a renowned Swedish design agency, founded in 2002 by Gabriella Lenke and Mattias Ståhlbom after graduating from Konstfack. Known for their minimalist and functional design philosophy, TAF Studio works with the goal of changing how we perceive everyday objects. Their work spans from interior architecture to product design, where simplicity and innovation are at the forefront. Through their projects for both international and Swedish brands, such as Muuto and String, they have become a significant player in Scandinavian design.

TAF Studio 2002

Since its inception in 2002, TAF Studio has continuously explored the boundaries between form and function. Their designs are often characterized by a clean aesthetic, where they succeed in combining classic materials with innovative solutions. An example of this is their collaboration with Muuto, where they have created iconic products that inspire both in the home and the workplace. By challenging traditional design concepts, they have developed a style that feels both timeless and modern. TAF Studio has the ability to take ordinary everyday objects and give them a new dimension. It is this ability to see the extraordinary in the ordinary that has made them one of the most influential design studios in Scandinavia. Their works are visible in both homes and public spaces, where they add a subtle yet sophisticated expression to the surroundings. In 2017, they received the Bruno Mathsson Award – one of the most prestigious design accolades in the Nordic region.
