Studio Monday. #stannahärenstund #stayhereawhile #värmlandsmuseum #karlstad 
Morning work with brother @simonklenell and @liuchienkuang in the @sthlm_glas hotshop. A cold winter wonderland outside. Italian schlager on the soundsystem and brioche from Hornstull’s finest @cafedellosport served with the coffee. Could be worse. #sthlmglas #gustavsberg #glassofig 
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 
How can less be more? More is more. Printing clay with @workshopstern. Scaling up. 📷: @ivanbrodeyphotography. #stayhereawhile #stannahärenstund #heleneborgsgatan 
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. Good design takes time. #🍾#nmoch #residencestoraformpris2020 #iittala #nationalmuseumswe #ennysamling 
2020: Putki for @iittala, Stockholm backyard excursions #ralpherskine, 3d printing clay with @workshopstern, Updating #heleneborgsgatan, Viva for @kostaboda, Laulu for @madebychoice, more #iittala, more #madebychoice and home renovation exile breakfasts in camouflaged company with @studio_oyama. + so much more during a very weird year where everything and nothing stood still.

Test hanging. My ancestors wood making tools are now finally up on the wall after learning from the best. A big thank you from all of us at Fondazione Klenell to @joakimewerning for sharing installation secrets from @nationalmuseumswe. #fondazioneklenell #stannahärenstund #1861 #2021 
Art work for the new ’Viva’ glassware collection developed in collaboration with @kostaboda. A joyful, winding design journey through Swedish glass making history. #kostaboda #stannahärenstund #2021 
Studio Saturday. At least this guy seems to enjoy the ’Russian inversion’ outside. #december #2020 #stannahärenstund. @iittala #iittala #nappula #accidentallygreenfingers 
Studio Friday. A seamless transition from inside to outside. Daylight photography without daylight accomplished. Heroic one week perfomance by @ivanbrodeyphotography. Happy weekend everyone! #december #arbetarsöder #stockholm #2020 
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 
Studio Monday. Taking advantage of the excellent December daylight conditions. Having fun with @ivanbrodeyphotography @petterxpetter and @henriknygren. #2021 
Incredible @larssonkorgmakare in Old Town Stockholm. NM&040 rattan chair, version 3 coming off the belt. #stannahärenstund #stockholm #larssonkorgmakare #2021 
From 2001 to 2021. Dressing up my ancient ’Peg’ bench design with a new leather back rest from @tarnsjogarveri. Because it is worth it. Maximum points to @katinaschutz for the delicate execution. And thank you @studio_fredrik_sandin_carlson for lending me an original canvas back to use as template. In 2041 I make a seat cushion. #heleneborgsgatan #stannahärenstund #2021 #slowdesign 
Studio Monday. Spot the new sound system. #camouflage #bangolufsen #loveitloud 
Very impressed and inspired by the new lights in Kungsträdgården. Has given the park a new dimension. Masterpiece @piippo_kai. #darkitechture #stockholm #happycitizen 
Black Friday ’Laulu’ chair for @madebychoice. Now available on @finnishdesignshop. #madeinfinland #laulu #stannahärenstund 
Heavy Weight. Gift to myself from @oigen1852 because I am worth it. Probably just the zeitgeist at the moment but the delicate unboxing procedure brought me out on imaginary and painfully pleasant travels around Asia before the package content was revealed. ’Palma’ cast iron tea pot from the @japan_creative project. Great work by undisputed champ @jasper.morrison. #oigen #japancreative #heavymetal 
’Putki’ lamp for @iittala. #madeinfinland #iittala 
Studio Sunday. Oak daybed with flexible head rest and brackets for easy storage. When not in use the furniture become a decorative piece on the wall. Soon time to finalize this beauty but will miss it in this state. @sthillert 12 points. #heleneborgsgatan #stannahärenstund #2021

The clay print journey with @workshopstern continues. First piece comissioned was installed at Southern Hospital in Stockholm today. Truly exciting step. A big thank you to @stockholmkonst for the collaboration and support. #södersjukhuset #stockholm #3dprintingceramics #🍾 
Studio November. All work no play. #stayhereawhile #stannahärenstund #heleneborgsgatan #january #2021 
Medicine Men. ’Memory’ is a 5.6 meter long art piece made in 2008 for The Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm. A patchwork of various old glass sheets in 3 layers mixed up with patterns in water cut optic olf film that gives the surface a depth and changing effect. Now re-installed on a more accessable spot at The Southern Hospital. Take elevator N to floor 3 to have a look. Thank you for a fantastic performance and a great day @hangmenprojects. #sjukhuskonst 
Nice capture of the wooden ’Pile’ lamp for @swedeseab found at the @senab webstore where it is now available. A personal favorite in my portfolio. Really enjoyed both collaboration and outcome. #senab #swedese #nmoch #ennysamling #nationalmuseumswe 
Table prototyping done and inauguration weekend has now officially started. Leftover pieces of pine, fir and probably something else lying around in the studio workshop glued and screwed together in to an actually quite nice piece of furniture where no fiber goes in the right direction. Paint is just magic. #diy #madetomeasure 
Studio Friday in bloom. #january #2021 #stayhereawhile #heleneborgsgatan 
I am currently exhibiting in Antwerp. Parts of the ’10 Years of Dialogue With Iittala’ exhibition from @designcentrehelsinki has travelled to Flanders and is now on display at Korte Gasthuisstraat 24. I would have loved to be there in person to see it installed and to stay a while in one of my favorite cities but it is like it is. However I feel totally comfortable that master exhibition designer @marjaanainen at @iittala and best @ninahuijing on site in Belgium has made my work look better than it actually is. Judging from the images you all did a fantastic job making me long to go even more. Impressed, honoured and happy. As always. #iittala #antwerp #antwerpen 
Johan Petter Johansson-Triplex work lamp originally from 1919. New studio light coming up. Really nice and practical. Intrested in adding one more. If anyone out there is up for business don’t hesitate to get in touch. #johanpetterjohansson #1919 #triplexlamp #heleneborgsgatan 
One Chair Is Enough. I wanted a Mats Theselius club chair but all I got was this marvelous floor from @marrakechdesign and I couldn’t be happier. Flawless performance by hard working Teo Lukawski and his team at @tilerstockholm. A big thank you for delivering so much more than expected in an apartment where every centimeter counts. #bravo #tilerstockholm #matstheselius #marrakechdesign #artek 
Testbed. Printing clay with @workshopstern #heleneborgsgatan 
Super Trouper. Little Médard from @supermodular just moved in on Södermalm. Impressed. Belgium beams at its best. Switch it on @tilerstockholm! #🇧🇪 
Back on this backyard again. Could stay here a while. #january #2021 #stannahärenstund

The studio kiln has started to deliver fired and ready clay prints from @workshopstern. Mounting stage has now started. Thank you @annalerinder for perfect advice. 80 unique pieces planned to be up by December. #heleneborgsgatan #charlesstern #january #2021 
Viva Friday! 3 glasses and 1 jug tuned in shape and function. Never designed a type font but can imagine it would mean a bit similar hardships to get all pieces together in to something readable. This nice pic by @feithje just arrived, capturing the relations within this happy family when getting ready for the weekend. Designed for @kostaboda. Available on-line and in store at @cervera. #kostaboda #friday 
Happy to help out as a curator for the fourth edition of the A New Layer project organized by National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Institute. I created the @anewlayertaiwan concept in 2014 together with @carinasethandersson @stina_lofgren and @taf_studio and it is rewarding to see how it has evolved since then. The image shows the wooden ’Yushan’ shelf with a book end made of beautiful Hualien jade that I designed for the original edition. The town of Hualien also hosts the initial workshop for this year’s edition starting today. #anewlayer #anewlayertaiwan #anewlayer4 #ntcri #taiwan 
Studio Tuesday. Endless work continues. And the green indoors too. Nappula for @iittala. #heleneborgsgatan #january #2021 #stannahärenstund #stayhereawhile #iittala #grownewroots 
Studio Monday. Can’t find my entrance and I love it. #heleneborgsgatan #green #september #stockholm 
Very grateful for this beautiful documentation of the ’Viva’ project for @kostaboda. Great friend, studio colleague and architecture photographer @ivanbrodeyphotography worked hard and played harder to capture the flow of shapes, materiality and functions falling in and out of place. A design process that sometimes felt endless in a quite pleasant way. #kostaboda 
My brother is a champ. Fantastic @simonklenell - Renässans at @galleriglas, Stockholm. Knockout pieces. Knockout installation. Knockout everything. #dancelikeabutterflystinglikeabee #simonklenell #bravo 
A new chapter. @workshopstern cuts the red ribbon. #heleneborgsgatan #nabertherm 
Still very behind but website a bit updated. It’s a weird busy year. Link in bio if interested. #iittala #putki #2018 #2020 
Every day is silent and grey. Paris flash in Sunday Stockholm. #sunday #stockholm 
Beat it. Finding gold in the studio workshop. Amazing @sthillert! #heleneborgsgatan #january #2021 
The artwork for the packaging of the ’Viva’ collection just launched by @kostaboda. Rare to be involved all the way like this and a nice ending to the project. Tried to capture the informal tone in the products and to underline the strong, colourful and playful expression that Kosta Boda has come to represent. Thank you @davidcarlsonfbo for challenging me to do it. And thank you @feithje for great graphic execution. #kostaboda 
Studio Tuesday. Endless. #january #2021 #heleneborgsgatan 
La Vida. A design originally deriving from the sketchboard when designing the Nationalmusem restaurant is the ’Viva’ glass range now launched by Swedish gem @kostaboda. Due to loads of great reasons it never happened within the project framework but after a bumpy three year ride, it is now ready to stand on its own feet and the result proves that good design takes time. The ’Viva’ project is about exploring contemporary drinking behaviours and roots in Swedish glass making traditions but also on a very personal note a re-discovery of a place where I lived for a short but important period during my childhood when my parents studied at the National School of Glass in Orrefors. I was 4 years old in 1976 but the smells, colours and people in the Crystal Kingdom has stayed ever since. The aim with ’Viva’ was to make a versatile series of glasses for everyday celebrations. Already from the start we focused on a machine made product witch added to the complexity (and fun) during the process. The result is a progressive but at the same time quite romantic, maybe even sentimental, collection that enhance the sensation of craft in industrially manufactured objects. It echoes from Simon Gate and Edward Hald, all gently overlooked by the divine spirit of Monica Backström. Apart from designing the collection I also got the opportunity to work with the packaging artwork which was a new, almost as exciting experience that made the project rarely complete. #kostaboda 
Studio Tuesday. Material library starting to come together nicely. Drawers from an old crate built in NYC when transporting home a glass project I made there in the fall of 2004. Good memories. #heleneborgsgatan 
Peeling. #tavastgatan 
Walls Come Tumbling Down. An Axel Vervoordt moment on Södermalm when @tilerstockholm just can’t stop peeling. And I couldn’t be happier. Very tempted to keep this. #tavastgatan 
Beautiful transparent and glittering version of the ’Bianca’ lamp for @fontanaarte captured on a blowpipe in Italy. #madeinitaly #fontanaarte

Dinosaur JR. There are a few chairs that mean more to me than others. My Hot 100 shift constantly but this masterpiece by @dahlstrom_design for CBI from 1993 has been high up on that list since I the year after walked through the doors of Konstfack to start my design studies. Bought this quite odd sample of the BD1 yesterday. Many years ago it was part of a TV talk show scenography and the legs are painted black instead of the usual natural birch base. Adds a bit of sin to the play. #björndahlström #bd1 #monochrome #1993
