The studio

Johannes Torpe Studios works across architecture, interior architecture, interior design, product design, industrial design, and experience design, with projects spanning hospitality, transportation, residential, mixed-use, consumer electronics, furniture, and beyond.

At the core of everything we do is experience design—because the human experience sits at the center of all meaningful design.

What sets us apart is our process. Each project begins with a deep exploration of history, sense of place, and cultural context, forming the foundation for all design decisions. From this research-led starting point, we evolve ideas into physical and experiential outcomes. Every project is shaped by its specific context, resulting in work that feels intentional, grounded, and uniquely tailored.

We do not subscribe to a singular aesthetic. Instead, we allow each project to unfold organically, guided by its purpose, context, and the people it is designed for.
