Between Realms: The Known and The Untold

Studio TOOJ invites you to explore the dualities at the heart of our design philosophy, where the timeless meets the future. Our functional art pieces, crafted by skilled carpenters and stonemasons, celebrate the beauty of traditional materials. Alongside, we introduce our collaboration with Reishi™ by MycoWorks—a noble material fully grown from mycelium, the mysterious roots of fungi. We also present a centrepiece that made waves at Alcova Milano—a 3D-printed sand console table that challenges perceptions of form and substance. It is a showcase that speaks to the future of sustainable craftsmanship. Each piece in this collection resonates between the known and the untold, tradition and reinvention, capturing a Scandinavian aesthetic that is elegant yet disruptive, familiar yet forward-thinking.

Established in 2023 by the creative duo Johan Wilén (@johanwilen) and Ashley Chong (@by_t.woon), Studio TOOJ [pronounced: two-y] is a Stockholm-based refinery for contemporary collectible design. With an unwavering focus on quality and uniqueness, we create and bring forth a collection of functional art pieces. Our team of curated master artisans infuse life into each piece, shaping the finest materials into truly exceptional works. Our creations all share a common denominator: a quiet sophistication coupled with a loud obsession for nuanced layers of detail. Committed to sustainability and ethical production methods, we are here to bring you pieces that are not only beautifully crafted, but also built to last.

Reinterpreting the norms of Scandinavian design, we wander between art and design, bringing a different take on simplicity that is both functional and beautifully crafted. Our debut at Alcova during Milan Design Week 2024 received an overwhelming response, affirming our unique creative vision and craftsmanship. Since then, our work has been celebrated in AD, Elle Decor, Dezeen, and more.
