Designer
The Swedish architects Gabriella Lenke and Mattias Ståhlbom have run the architecture and design studio TAF (previously TAF Architects) in Stockholm, Sweden, since 2002. TAF Studio’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 Studio’s projects is that everyday objects by their very commonness can be made uncommon.

This shelf is just perfect -- sturdy and good looking -- for holding my precious precolumbian clay figures. It's the first thing I've found in many years of looking that allows me to display them while keeping them safe.
