Gabriella Lenke and Mattias Ståhlbom, founders of TAF Studio, are known for their innovative approach to interior and product design. Their work often challenges traditional definitions, focusing on 'spatial design' where spatial thinking and product design influence each other.

TAF Studio and National Museum Collaboration
TAF Studio designed the NM&.045 Console Shelf for the Swedish National Museum of Fine Arts in Stockholm, which reopened in 2018 after a major renovation. The shelf was designed to support various objects, from vases to sculptures, with a design that makes the museum wall appear to present the art.

MUSEUM COLLECTION NATIONALMUS EUM & TAF STUDIO Gabriella Lenke and Mattias Ståhlbom are free thinkers. In their work with interiors and product design they continually challenge traditional definitions. Together they established the design and architecture studio TAF in 2002. Asked to describe the work of TAF Studio, they speak of “spatial design” as their approach to projects. “The spatial thinking and the products cross-fertilise each other”, says Gabriella. A good example is the Museum NM&.045, the shelf designed by TAF Studio for Sweden’s National Museum of Fine Arts in Stockholm. “Nationalmuseum...

MUSEUM COLLECTION MUSEUM NM&.045 CONSOLE SHELF Museum was designed in 2018 by TAF Studio for the reopening of the Swedish National Museum. It has since grown to become a collection with a rational expression and uncompromising construction. “It was essential that the shelf should work as an unobtrusive support to the art. Even so, we wanted to give it a distinctive identity. That’s why we designed it to create the feeling that the museum wall reaches out toward you, like the palm of a hand presenting the art.

MUSEUM COLLECTION MUS EUM SIDE TABLE A clever blend of unobtrusive design and solid structure. The Museum Sidetable has a distinct expression and functionality, thanks to the adjustable height.

MUSEUM COLLECTION MUSEUM CANDLE HOLDER A curious juxtaposition, between a brutal constructivist expression and a traditional Scandinavian adjustable candlestick design. A slender candle holder with a robust platform and a light structure that delivers an unusual sense of scale. “The candle holder follows the Museum design language; a minimalist, pared down design, with the principle to serve the purpose of presenting one’s treasures in a stylish way. There are aesthetic benefits to choosing different heights for table settings; up top to highlight a big occasion and moved down for a more casual...
