A strong concept is always the foundation for great design.

Open Studio is an independent design studio based in Stockholm. We specialize in strategy, concept creation and design across all platforms, collaborating with the world’s biggest brands, inspiring people, institutions, and exciting start-ups that want a sustainable future.

Our multi-disciplinary team shares a common interest in great ideas, brilliant crafts, innovative strategies, sustainability, and in making brands more human.

Together, we use design as a tool for business development. We believe in clear systems, placing the idea and the concept at the forefront.

Our six areas of expertise:
1. Insight and Strategy
2. Branding
3. Storytelling and Creative Direction
4. Spaces and Experiences
5. Products and Packaging
6. Implementation and Production

Although every project is unique, our workflow typically break down into three stages: Define, Design, Do.

DEFINE
Our work begins with a comprehensive understanding of your company’s situation, needs, and target customer group. This initial phase includes research, workshops, interviews, and strategy development, all of which lays the groundwork for our creative work. By working closely, we identify challenges and opportunities and define the scope of the project.

DESIGN
Once the assignment is defined, we start the creative work. This includes making mood boards, sketching, testing, and creating a core concept that will shape the project, whether it’s a brand identity, office concept, store experience, or launch campaign. Together we decide on the concept and visual direction, and select the appropriate technique and approach in order to start the design process, no matter the platform.

DO
We help to create the necessary assets to implement the brand, project or space. With a scalable production setup that can accommodate ongoing production and management of most assets.
