As is often the case with young up and coming Scandinavian designers, you won’t find much information about Mats Seitz on his website. No matter, luckily his fast growing body of work speaks for itself including his latest design, the simple yet effective Klossel.
A puzzle based on a simple truck motif, Klossel is the first product in a series of educational building block toys for children. As with much of Mats Seitz’s work, the toy is strictly minimalist in design, in this case with the intention of allowing children to express their imagination.
Some of our favorite designs include the highly functional though cute looking CanCan (a modular clothing hanger), his Wall-E resembling floor lamp and his distinctively designed side table, which is sure to become a design classic. Take a look below to read a brief profile of the designer and to see a selection of his work:
Swedish born, Mats Seitz gained a BA in Interior and Product Design from Beckmans College of Design in Stockholm following two stints at art school firstly at Konstskolan and then Nyckelviksskolan. Mats has previously won the Polardörren award (2005) and his work has been exhibited at Designtide in Tokyo (2007), House of Sweden in Washington DC (2006),
Scandinavia House in New York (2006)
and a number of times at Greenhouse, part of Stockholm Furniture Fair.
