Jonas Wagell, a Swedish architect and designer born in 1973, is renowned for his minimalist yet playful approach to product and furniture design. Based in Stockholm, Wagell founded his studio, JWDA, in 2008, where he continues to craft designs that balance Scandinavian simplicity with a welcoming and expressive aesthetic. His iconic works, including the best-selling JWDA lamp for Audo Copenhagen and the Julep sofa for Tacchini, epitomise modern-day living with their soft, friendly shapes that transcend fleeting trends.
Wagell's creations are deeply rooted in his graphic design background, combining clean lines with a touch of whimsy to produce designs that feel both timeless and approachable. His work spans international collaborations, from Scandinavia to Italy, Asia, and North America, and extends across disciplines, from furniture and product design to architecture and art direction. Early in his career, his innovative Mini House prefab concept earned him a spot on Wallpaper Magazine’s “50 Hottest Young Architects” list. Today, his designs remain a perfect blend of minimalism and warmth, embodying a relaxed sophistication that has become his signature.
