Slanted in Stockholm: Matti Klenell

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 Matti Klenell!

Matti Klenell (born 1972) graduated from Konstfack, Stockholm in 1999. He founded his own studio that works with design commissions for clients such as Iittala, FontanaArte, and Offecct. He also develops unique or limited edition works, often in glass. His work can be found in several museum collections. Matti Klenell has served as Head of Department at the Beckmans College of Design in Stockholm. He is frequently invited to lecture at different design universities.

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