From shared studies to a unified vision
Broberg & Ridderstråle is a Stockholm based design and architecture studio founded by Mats Broberg and Johan Ridderstråle. They met as students at Konstfack, where their common interest in form, function and craftsmanship soon merged into a lasting collaboration. Their early projects, from prototypes to full design proposals, paved the way to establishing their studio.
Designing for everyday life — with a twist
Broberg & Ridderstråle draw inspiration from ordinary routines and common environments. Their design approach is rational and restrained, yet they often introduce a subtle, witty touch, an unexpected detail or a clever reinterpretation of a traditional form, that elevates the object beyond the ordinary.
Recognition and reach
Their pieces have gained international visibility and they have attracted acclaim from design authorities including Wallpaper Magazine and Elle Decoration, a testament to their consistent ability to marry intelligence, craft and personality in their work.
Why Broberg & Ridderstråle belong at Korbo
At Korbo we value timeless craftsmanship, honest materials and everyday utility. Broberg & Ridderstråle’s philosophy — blending rational design with emotional nuance — echoes our own. Their pieces don’t follow fleeting trends; instead they are conceived to endure, to enrich a home over time, and to bring subtle character without noise. We believe their work complements Korbo’s ethos beautifully.
