Gustav Craft

Welcome to my portfolio. This collection showcases a selection of my school projects, along with products I have entered into competitions. Every piece featured here represents my work from 2023 onward. I am currently studying Product Design at Instituto Marangoni in Milan, where I refine my skills and explore innovative design solutions.

Velò is where minimal industrial design meets timeless craftsmanship.
Milled from solid aluminium, finished with a soft satin texture, and paired with a braided textile cord, every detail is built for durability and tactile pleasure. The heart of Velò is its intuitive mechanical dimming system, a slidable hood that lets you shape your light with a simple, satisfying motion, no electronics needed.

Inspired by the precision, visual language, and functional beauty of @iguzzini , I designed Velò to feel both familiar and distinct, a piece that belongs in a modern home office yet stands out as an object of design in its own right.

From the non-slip silicone base to the polymer locking screw with anodized aluminium plate, every element is purposeful, restrained, and made to last.

Irrbloss – A Desk Lamp Inspired by Scandinavian Folklore

This is an older project of mine that I designed for a competition with Elena Salmistraro, Irrbloss is a desk lamp that brings Scandinavian folklore to life through modern design. Inspired by the mystical will-o’-the-wisp, a
legendary forest guardian, the lamp captures the enchantment and mystery of nature, blending tradition with contemporary aesthetics.

Crafted from wood, aluminum, leather, and a green woven cord, Irrbloss reflects the essence of the forest its trees, ores, and
organic textures while incorporating Salmistraro’s playful and
artistic influence. More than just a lamp, Irrbloss is a
storytelling piece, illuminating spaces with both light and legend.

Urban Explorer – MIDO Awards 2025

For the 2025 MIDO Awards in Milan, I had the honor of being one of four students from my school selected to compete. My entry, the Urban Explorer sunglasses, is inspired by the
adventurous spirit that drives us to explore both cities and nature.

Blending bold design with functionality, these sunglasses take cues from classic explorer eyewear while incorporating sustainable materials and cutting-edge 3D printing technology. More than just an accessory, the Urban Explorer is a symbol of
curiosity, courage, and a commitment to innovation a reminder that every journey, big or small, is an adventure waiting to unfold.

Pivotto – Lenovo x Rivatelier Competition

As one of 10 selected to compete in this design challenge, I created Pivotto, a versatile side table
designed to enhance modern living. With a sleek pivoting mechanism, Pivotto effortlessly transforms from a stylish side table into an ergonomic workspace or dining surface perfect for small spaces.

Crafted from premium wood with a dark-stained glass top and a polished aluminum pivot, it not only adapts to your needs but also conceals a hidden storage compartment for laptops, tablets, and everyday essentials. By integrating AI-driven design exploration, I developed a piece that balances
functionality, aesthetics, and smart innovation, making home life more seamless and efficient.

Arco - Porada Competition

Sculpting Elegance in Wood

for the Porada Design Competition, I created a bed that redefines craftsmanship through fluid, organic forms. Its signature sweeping front leg, inspired by nature, flows seamlessly into the structure, making the piece feel both sculptural and grounded.

Every joint and transition is designed for harmony and balance, celebrating the beauty of wood and expert craftsmanship. Accompanied by a matching side table, which mirrors the bed’s graceful curves, this design brings a sense of movement, elegance, and timeless artistry to any space. More than just furniture, it’s a statement of design, nature, and seamless living.

Havsrus

A Fusion of Tradition and Modernity

Havsrus is a statement armchair that bridges the past and present, combining traditional Swedish craftsmanship with contemporary design. Its solid wooden base, rich with heritage and artisanal detail, serves as the foundation both physically and metaphorically for the sleek, modern plastic canopy that envelops the sitter.

This design represents the evolution of Swedish design: the old supporting the new, craftsmanship meeting innovation. By blending these elements, Havsrus creates a space of comfort and contemplation, where tradition and technology coexist in perfect harmony.
