About Matti & Simon Klenell

Matti Klenell (b. 1972) is a designer renowned for his innovative contributions to the evolution of Scandinavian design. Klenell has a wide repertoire including his choice of materials but often returns to glass as a strong source for his expression.

Always thorough and reflective – including in-depth research prior and throughout a project – Matti puts emphasis on delivering optimal results. Regardless of the task at hand, Klenell approaches it with curiosity and the challenge of bringing his objects to life. The outcome is carefully designed products characterized by form, function, and personality.

Matti Klenell is educated at the University of Arts, Crafts & Design (1994-1999) and The Royal Academy of Architecture in Copenhagen. A recipient of several awards, including ‘Designer of the Year’ by Residence Magazine 2018, and the EDIDA Swedish Design Award four times. Matti Klenell’s work is represented at several museums including Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Röhsska - Museum of Design & Craft in Gothenburg and Design Museum Denmark. 

Simon Klenell (b. 1985) is a self-described designer and a craftsman. His way of working is driven by the material, and he works almost exclusively with glass. It’s also in the glass itself that he finds his greatest inspiration and curiosity.

Simon’s work process includes drawing and designing, but the fact that he also blows and grinds glass is an important part of his professional identity and something he considers his biggest asset in his design work. Klenell continuously addresses how he can use the history of glass, manufacturing techniques and the physical properties of the material to explore its potential and what stories he can convey with it.

Simon Klenell is educated at the National School of Glass and the University of Arts, Crafts and Design. A recent recipient of the Ulrica Hydman Vallien scholarship, Klenell works in his own workshop and studio in Gustavsberg.
