Johan Lindstén

Background

Johan Lindstén founded his own design studio in Stockholm in 2008, immediately after completing his studies, according to Cappellini. The studio now works as Lindstén Form Studio.

Signature Style

Unexpected details and subtle expressions define his design language. With simplicity as a foundation he makes objects that balance function, emotion and form, with elements that are visually pleasing, playful and surprising.

Notable Works

• Embroidery Chair, a series for Cappellini based on an interpretation of the changing seasons
• Meltdown, lamps in floor, table and hanging versions
• Limited edition products often sold to museums, and sound-absorbing products for Apple

Legacy

He sees design as a way to shape atmosphere as well as objects, creating environments that feel more beautiful, engaging and joyful.
