Slanted in Stockholm: Kölqvist

When visiting Stockholm in the summer of 2021, we took a close look at the contemporary design scene. We were happy to meet great designers from the local creative scene, among them Maja Kölqvist!

Maja Kölqvist is a creative director, graphic designer, and editor. She has been working for brands at the crossroad of design, culture, and fashion for over 20 years. Maja worked for French Vogue from 2002–2005 before being made a senior designer at M / M (Paris). In 2011, she founded her own studio, Kölqvist. Her clients include Eytys, Gauchere, Totême, Lula Magazine, amongst others. 2016 she founded HONORE magazine with Sheila Single.

Maja Kölqvist’s work can be found in the Slanted Magazine #39—Stockholm. Additionally we shot a video interview to talk about their attitude and view of things. Take a look at our new issue and the video platform to encounter new ways of design thinking!
