Biography
Background
Jonas Wagell is a Swedish architect and designer and a 2007 graduate of Konstfack in Stockholm. He trained in graphics, marketing and communication, furniture design and interior architecture at schools including Konstfack, Berghs School of Communication and Parsons School of Design in New York, and had an earlier career in strategic project management and communication. In 2008 Wallpaper* named him one of "the world's hottest young architects".
Signature Style
His studio describes a visual language of minimal, soft and friendly shapes — simple but recognisable forms rooted in his early interest in graphics, print and typography. The work combines graphic simplicity and playfulness.
Notable Works
The curvy Julep sofa for Tacchini (2018, with matching armchair and ottoman), the JWDA lamps for Audo Copenhagen, the Panorama seating for Wendelbo, the Punto armchairs for Vergés and the Supernate light collection for Frandsen.
Legacy
