Matti Klenell

Matti Klenell’s design style is easily recognisable by its powerful ex- pression, where a decorative harmony is created through balancing bold volumes. With his glass art heritage, it’s no surprise that Matti Klenell feels powerfully drawn to the arts and crafts.

Matti Klenell was born in Gothenburg in 1972. He graduated with an MFA from the University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm in 1999. After graduating, he set up his own design studio and today works with international design commissions. In addition to working with projects for serial production, Matti Klenell also develops and produces unique objects as limited editions, mostly in glass.

His work can be found at Statens konstmuseer, Nationalmuseum, The Röhsska Museum, Museum of Design and Applied Arts, Gardabaer in Iceland, and Designmuseum Danmark, among others. Matti also had several solo exhibitions and has received several prizes and awards.
