Tenzo design studio

Good design is in the detail – that special thing that make you fall in love…

Tenzo design studio consists of a team with competence in different areas. All to get the best possibilities to develop and design furniture for you. To perfect our range and make our design accomplished we are collaborating with a group of carefully chosen designers.

The team works closely with the production to make sure that each piece is designed to fully benefit the capacity of our manufacture facility in Sweden. No middle hands or compromises that will affect the design and appearance. Together we create modern furniture with high quality and with a Scandinavian touch.

Says Who

Designer of ‘Cross‘
The style of Says Who design is rooted in the great traditions of Scandinavian design, and it’s love for simplicity, minimalism and functionality. They are part of the movement of new scandinavian design. On one hand they respect their design heritage, and on the other hand they reinvent it to fit into our present time.
They are two sides of the same coin. Chaos and order. Engineering and creativity.

Rutger Andersson

Designer of ‘Malibu, ‘Bess‘, ‘Cobra‘ etc.
Rutger Andersson combines function and aesthetics. Like all who endeavour to create perfection, he knows when enough is enough and does not embellish his creations with unnecessary adornment.
Rutger Andersson prefers to be inspired by cars of the 1950s rather than design exhibitions in Milan . The result
is furniture with soul.

Thomas Eklundh

Monika Mulder

Designer of ‘Plain, Grain’
Swedish designer Monika Mulder cares a lot for the sculptural aspect of design. ‘Developing a product that fulfills practical demands can be done by good thinking, but creating a product that touches peoples souls requires real feelings. That is my way of challenging design’.
Monika’s main interest is to develop relevant solutions for real needs, and to give grace and beauty to everyday products. Monika Mulder’s work is playful and functional, solving challenges of production with creativity and consideration.

Olivier Toulouse

Designer of ‘Uno‘ & ‘Mudo‘
Design says something about who you are, that’s why
Olivier is inspired by people. By watching people, new designs emerge. Olivier believes that to create good design you need to fight predetermined things, be opened to alternatives and critically looking for new answers to poorly asked questions. You must know how to redefine the questions asked and you must take the time to do it.
