Mathieu Gustafsson is a Swedish designer and architect with a strong interest in materials, craftsmanship and carefully considered construction. His work combines a contemporary design language with a deep respect for the Scandinavian furniture tradition.

For Stolab, Mathieu Gustafsson designed Pal – a chair where simplicity, comfort and the natural qualities of wood take centre stage. With its balanced proportions, soft lines and carefully crafted details, Pal is designed to work in a wide range of environments and stand the test of time.

The collaboration between Mathieu Gustafsson and Stolab is built on a shared approach to furniture design: that good design grows from the material, construction and craftsmanship – and that every detail should serve a clear purpose.
