Office for Design creates objects for everyday use, bringing an array of cultural influences and perspectives that seek universality, logic and simplicity. His work is nearly archaeological as he translates the dynamics of society and culture around him. At Office for Design, he has synthesized this universal approach into a practice that seeks to uncover the meaning of objects and elevate their purpose. Often questioning the industry he works within and his role as a designer. He has worked across disciplines, moving between industrial design, art direction, local production and architecture. For his approach, Shane has been recognized by the Bruno Mathsson Foundation, the International Forum Hannover, Sverige Arkitekter Guldstolen prize and has received the Japan Good Design Award, among other accolade. His studio is based in Stockholm, Sweden since 2010. - John Kazior
