Matti Klenell - ’Stanna här en stund / Stay Here A While’ in the impressive Nyrén hall at @varmlandsmuseum. I love the strong relation between the exhibition space and the river outside the windows. I therefore tried to relate to that when making the layout. My grandparents used to live right across and from the hall I can see their house and the area where I also lived for a couple of years. The connection to the surroundings silently adds to the plot. A story about the relation to origin, location and situation in my work. Värmlands Museum is open Friday 10-20 and between 11-16 on Saturday and Sunday. Pre-book your tickets on varmlandsmuseum.se #stannahärenstund #värmlandsmuseum #karlstad #carlnyrén

Having a J.J.P Oud kind of day. Thanks to family I am normally a frequent visitor in Stuttgart. When there I often take the tram over to beautiful Weißenhofsiedlung where an irresistible row house by this De Stilj master is built. It steals the show from its neighbours designed by Corbusier, Mies, Stam and Josef Frank in a qute subtle way. It’s been a while since the last visit but again a book came to my rescue thanks to great antiquarian Antiqua on Kommendörsgatan in Stockholm. #jjpoud #weissenhofsiedlung #1927 #destijl

Now it will be revealed what everyone in my surroundings will get for Christmas. Wonderful catalogue from the ongoing Enzo Mari exhibition at the Triennale in Milan. Published by @electaeditore. So sad I probably won’t be able to see the show before it ends but this will partly make up for it. Should be available in every bookstore and every library + be handed out to anyone stepping in to a design school. Thank you to @mzin.de in Leipzig for quick delivery of this mental travel. #enzomari #merrychristmas

@sthillert! During a year not being able to go anywhere and with few clients interested in developing much, the home studio environment became even more important. The exhibition at @varmlandsmuseum deals with the importance of place in what I do and one chapter is named Heleneborgsgatan 38, witch is my studio address in Stockholm. Together with cabinet maker Julia Sthillert I investigated what was possible to make in our 18m2 workshop and the result went far beyond my imagination. One outcome is this oversized, boxy Swedish Grace meets Jens Risom inspired chaise lounge made of soaped solid oak with a plaited @tarnsjogarveri leather seat. It is part of a larger family of chairs named ”Holmenkollen” as a tribute to Arne Tideman Ruud, another modernist master that for several reasons has been important to me. Soon to be seen at Museum of Värmland in Karlstad. #stannahärenstund #stayhereawhile #heleneborgsgatan #värmlandsmuseum #karlstad 
Amazing @varmlandsmuseum! Thank you @karin.abergwaern, @danspegel, Carl Johan Olovsson and everyone involved in the work when planning, producing and installing my exhibition that is now up and ready to open when possible. A memory for life. #stannahärenstund #värmlandsmuseum #karlstad

Songs of Faith And Devotion. After a year of pandemic pause the “Laulu” cabinet project for @madebychoice has now finally taken a big step further. Size, shape and construction are adjusted to create a very refined product for storing, displaying and dividing. Produced from CNC milled and painted Valchromat board making the cabinet available 5 different colours with a base in solid wood. The brown version on the image above will be on display at @varmlandsmuseum in Karlstad from February 27.

To play with people better than yourself make you better. Graphic perfection by @henriknygren and wing pilot @simonyngve, text poetry by @petterxpetter and precise sharpshooting by @ivanbrodeyphotography and @bjorn_ceder. A small book that is first in a series of designer portraits from @offecctofficial. Very flattered to be invited by @mariakaremyr to stretch out on your therapy coutch. #offecct #heleneborgsgatan 
Drawing from the ’Font’ project for @offecctofficial. Five signed and numbered prints have been beautifully framed by @bergevallramar and are sold through @stockholmsauktionsverk this Sunday. #happybidding #sdw2021 
The ‘Font’ seating system for @offecctofficial has been extended with six new units enabling a rich variety of spatial formations. Picture of the 1:5 scale presentation material a bit more than a year ago. #offecct #madeintibro 
’Font’ easy chair for @offecctofficial. So pleased with the outcome balancing total nostalgia and absolute modernity in its own very personal way. A characteristic addition to a growing family of furniture where the aim is to do as much as possible with as little as possible. And yes, it is very comfortable too. Amazing engineering and upholstery work by @tobias.stralman, @maria.lindberg3, Stefan Granström and the entire team in Tibro. Photocredit: @bjorn_ceder #offecct #madeintibro #sdw2021 
The charming ”Lilla Furuhyllan” is a pine wood shelf designed by Carl Malmsten in 1941. Thanks to @lisahilland, @mylhta, @carlmalmstenab and @svenskttra it is now in production. To celebrate the launch I was asked by Lisa to give it a personal addition. The result is ”Volymen”, a glass vase that is blown with the corner of the shelf as mold and carefully adjusted in size to fit its proportions. The vase can stand by itself or be used as support for the books that hopefully ends up next to it. ”Volymen” is masterly executed by my brother @simonklenell on a sunny January morning at the fantastic @sthlm_glas in Gustavsberg. It has been given a decorative marbled pattern that occurs when you ”comb” the surface. The technique is ancient but here used in a contemporary way referring to old book volumes that often have marbled paper as cover. This signed, unique piece will be available together with the shelf through an online auction at @stockholmsauktionsverk this week.

About last night. Studio visit from @offecctofficial. Social distanced prototype examination here instead of there. Very fond of their tradition to always drape the project with a silver fabric and let you uncover the work, spend a bit of time with it alone before discussing and changing. A small detail but a nice ceremony to show respect for the labour put in to it. Makes it valuable and secret. Playful and serious. Soon there... #heleneborgsgatan #offecct #stannahärenstund 
In the best of company I am shortlisted to the Respected by Gaggenau accolade for the work with the Nationalmuseum project in Stockholm. A recognition I fully like to share with my dear colleagues @taf_studio, @carinasethandersson and @stina_lofgren + the project managers @helenakaberg and @fredrik1eriksson at @nationalmuseumswe + everyone at @restaurang_nationalmuseum who very much deserves some sunshine during these frustrating times. I really hope to see you all again soon. Respected by Gaggenau is a commitment from @Gaggenauofficial, to highlight artisans and craftspeople who value quality above all else in the fields of culinary, viniculture and design. Very proud to have been recognized and shortlisted for this prestigious accolade. #RespectedByGaggenau #Gaggenauofficial #GaggenauExperience #nmoch #ennysamling #anewcollection #nationalmuseumswe 
. Matti Klenell Stanna här en stund / Stay Here A While Värmlands Museum 27/2-22/8 2021 Very excited about this in so many ways and I refuse to let the uncertainty take over. Maybe the opening date will be postponed, maybe not, but sooner or later we will open. Hopefully during winter with a wonderland and an ice covered river outside, or maybe during spring in time for Easter or at least when summer is arriving. And when we do I would like to welcome you all to Karlstad and to the stunning Museum of Värmland. The exhibition will take place in the beautiful Nyrén Hall and show new as well as old works from 20 years of practice. #stannahärenstund #stayhereawhile #värmlandsmuseum #karlstad

This is simply amazing. Just unboxed a delivery from @aleksi_kentta that arrived right before new year. It took quite a while to digest his massive and absolutely beautiful work documenting and presenting @collectionkakkonen -Finlands biggest private collection of glass and ceramic art gathered in 6 thick, sparkling and perfectly executed volumes. Wow. In Finnish only so it is now time to reload the Duolingo app and get going. Wow again. Kiitos Aleksi! #bravo #aleksikuokka #collectionkakkonen #madeinfinland #aivandesignagency 
Big thank you to @residencemag for awarding the Putki lamp for @iittala best lighting project of 2020! Originally designed for the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm and now finally available on the market after a great development process together with the entire Iittala team.

In 2012 I designed the Lempi glass for @iittala. Main inspiration for the project was a glass hand made by my father in his hotshop. Its generous oversized cup on a low stem invites you to pour up a little bit more than intended and that has made our family gatherings throughout the years both later and louder. #stannahärenstund #2021 #iittala 
Studio Wednesday. A bit like this. #stannahärenstund #2021
