Förstberg Ling

Inspired by the ‘naivety and playful expression of Japanese architecture’ and the ‘precision and quality of Swiss architecture’, their work across interiors, furniture and building design can be defined by a close attention to detail and the aim to create a sensory experience using space and texture.
