Claesson Koivisto Rune

The Claesson Koivisto Rune studio, founded in 1994 by Mårten Claesson (1950-), Eero Koivisto (1958-) and Ola Rune (1963-), represents one of the peaks of the renewal of Swedish design that emerged in the 1990s. The three of them studied at Konstfack, a Stockholm university dedicated to the arts, where they met and decided to work together. In the early years their focus was more centered on architecture and interior design, with projects such as the Gucci and Louis Vuitton stores in Stockholm and several showrooms in Japan, but at the end of the 90s the product design projects, inspired by a temperate minimalism, with a fresh and welcoming taste. They have worked for many of the most important Swedish brands such as Offecct, David Design Asplund, Kasthall, Swedese and Skultuna, and even more often for large Italian companies such as Arflex, Paola Lenti, Living Divani, FontanaArte, Gallotti&Radice, Kristalia, Tacchini and Boffi.
