Stefan Borselius was born in Malmo in 1974, both his grandfather and great-grandfather were furniture carpenters which eventually led to Borselius' interest in the design field. Borselius decided to follow in his family members' footprints and studied at Konstfack University College of Arts, Craft and Design, before establishing his own design studio in 2002 - Borselius Design. He now specialises in furniture and interior design and regularly pushes the boundaries of the field with every product he creates.

"The old Scandinavian design icons were inspired by their time and we by ours. I reckon that the common denominator is that we express our identity in the time that we’re present in." - Thomas Bernstrand
