"We believe that at heart, people want to focus on their life without getting distracted by complicated products, services and unnecessary information. We are not afraid of the obvious or even the banal because these qualities are timeless, they will stay appealing. Therefore, we work hard to keep things simple." - Oivind Slaatto

Danish designer, Oivind Slaatto (1978), originally studied music at the Royal Danish Academy of Music, but later earned a Master's degree from the Danish Design School. It wasn't long until Slaatto opened his studio, SLAATTO DESIGN in Copenhagen, Denmark. His appreciation for music influences his design process and philosophy.

Each product he creates, from cars to light fixtures, should feel like a piece of music being played - simple yet complex. While Slaatto develops a diverse array of products, light is close to his heart. Having an affinity with nature, Slaatto seeks to heighten our experience with light and ultimately reshape the interiors we live in.

Some of Oivind Slaatto's clients include Danish brands such as, Louis Poulsen Lighting, Bang & Olufsen and Le Klint.

Awards include, an IF Product Design Award, CES Best of Innovations Award, Design of the Year from Bo Bedre (2013), and many more.
