Gabriella Gustafson and Mattias Ståhlbom have run the architecture and design studio TAF in Stockholm, Sweden since 2002. TAF’s aim is to make ordinary life less ordinary through subtle but effective changes in how products and architecture appear and function. A recurrent departure point in TAF projects is that everyday objects by their very commonness can be made uncommon.

“The ordinary and standard as working material."

"We are so used to the content of our daily life that it goes largely unnoticed. However, the common and everyday are actually what define us."

"These are the objects that both influence and depict how we live. Perhaps it is the most insignificant and boring objects that are therefore the most interesting?"

"By altering ordinary objects and placing them in new contexts, TAF offers the viewer a possibility to see the objects in a new light. Within a new setting, the ordinary is made extraordinary.”  (Christina Zetterlund)
