The Studio’s work draws from a belief that modernism does not mean minimalism, that contemporary does not forsake tradition, and that technology does not abandon people and senses. The work carried out at Studio Tord Boontje arises from a belief that modernism does not mean minimalism, that contemporary does not forsake tradition, and that technology does not abandon people and the senses. Founded in 1996, the attractive goal of the Studio is the delicate marriage of design and emotion, design that is as broadly accessible as it is enticing. Often tempering angularity with softness, they search for inspiration in nature, using forms and layers to engage and entice an observer’s imagination and emotions. Developing a wide range of products and furniture pieces over the years for brands such as Alexander McQueen, Moroso, Habitat, Artecnica, Swarovski, Kvadrat, Perrier-Jouët, Nanimarquina and Shiseido, among others, the Studio Tord Boontje has also garnered numerous awards.
