About tio

tio is not a design studio, it is not a brand of accessories, furniture or decorative objects.

tio is a creative project born from an interest in engineering and production processes combined with design at all levels.

tio is trying to materialize all daily inspirations in unique objects that sometimes have functional character and sometimes just purely aesthetic purposes.

tio means ten (10) in Swedish.

Aiming to minimize the environmental footprint, the production of each object will be 10 units until the next product launch, when the objects will only be made to order. This production style intends to encourage the creative evolution of the project and reduce the unnecessary stock related waste, making tio a sustainable project both socially and environmentally.
