Mathieu Gustafsson

Mathieu Gustafsson has his roots both in Paris and in the Swedish province of Småland – the heart of the Swedish furniture industry. It is by observing the differences and similarities between these two cultures from an early age that initiated Mathieu's interest in product design.

His creative process often starts with a defined need, a behavior or a technique, with an ambition to find a new angle for the producer he works for. Professionally, Mathieu has a background in graphic design, cabinet making and furniture design.

Specialized in furniture for the contract market Mathieu started and managed the design studio at Tengbom - one of the leading architect firms in Sweden. Today he runs his own studio in Stockholm with projects ranging from design objects to contract furniture to new sustainable materials for the production industry.
