Design House Stockholm
Founded in 1992 by Anders Färdig in Stockholm, Design House Stockholm began its journey not just as a traditional furniture company, but as a platform for budding Scandinavian designers to bring forth their innovative ideas. While brands like IKEA democratized design for the masses and Bruno Mathsson International intertwined ergonomics with elegance, Design House Stockholm championed the concept of a "publisher of design" rather than a conventional producer. This unique approach allowed the brand to harbor a wide range of diverse design expressions, challenging norms and continually evolving.
At the core of Design House Stockholm's philosophy is its commitment to giving a voice to independent designers. Unlike brands with a singular aesthetic, Design House Stockholm embraces a myriad of styles, materials, and functionalities. Their ethos revolves around collaborating with designers in the early stages of product development, often without a definitive market strategy, valuing the essence of the design itself. This results in a diverse catalog that stretches from furniture and lighting to kitchenware and fashion. Their clientele is just as diverse, encompassing anyone who values innovative, thoughtful, and sometimes avant-garde Scandinavian design.
Highlighting some of their noteworthy products, the "Knot Cushion," designed by Ragnheiður Ösp Sigurðardóttir, is emblematic of the brand's approach to unique design. Its intricate yet playful knot form offers both aesthetic appeal and tactile comfort. Another standout is the "Greenhouse" – a minimalist terrarium designed by Atelier 2+, reflecting the brand's foray beyond mere furniture. Price-wise, Design House Stockholm ranges from mid-tier to premium, reflecting the broad spectrum of design quality and innovation they offer.
