STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN

WOOD: RED OAK

Martin Thübeck is a Swedish designer who works and lives in Stockholm. He trained in Interior Architecture and Furniture Design, taking and graduated with a masters from Konstfack (University College of Arts, Crafts and Design) in 2020. He is currently working on establishing his own studio. Martin was awarded a scholarship from the IKEA foundation in 2019 and won the Design S – Swedish Designs Awards furniture category in 2020. His work is characterised by a playful approach that results in an expansion of the general conception of function. Balancing between the quirky and the sublime.

While confined at home with his young children, Thübeck found inspiration for his piece in the way they adapted their surroundings for play, challenging conventional ways to use furniture: ‘Limitations became possibilities,’ he comments.
