Design House Stockholm defines itself as a publishing house rather than a conventional producer. Since 1992, it has invited both emerging and established designers, along with skilled manufacturers, to collaborate in shaping innovative Scandinavian design. By fostering curiosity and active listening, it curates and explores designs that blend quality and timelessness with personality and attitude. Each creation is driven by function and detail, often unexpected and thought–provoking, yet always achieving a sense of excellence in everyday life—what can be described as contemporary design poetry.

The work centres around the relationship between people, animals, nature, and resources. By researching historical materials, crafts, and production methods from a time when humans lived in closer symbiosis with nature, Willner seeks to explore empathic ways to relate to contemporary consumption and production.
