Vendor Info
Design House Stockholm (DHS) is a publisher of design, working in the same way with designers that
publishing houses work with authors. Rather than selecting a designer to make a specific product,
all designers are invited to bring their personal ideas. Some of these ideas are selected for
development and production. DHS looks for products that add something new to their genre. Products
with personality and character. Their ambition is to gather a collection of the very best Scandinavian
design today. The term ‘Scandinavian’ refers to a philosophic and aesthetic perspective, rather than
geography and nationality: they have French, German, Australian, American and Chilean designers in their network.
The result is a collection of design classics with timeless appeal and qualities that outlives temporary trends.
