Tonfisk Designers

Bored of seeing more of the same? Producing objects that are innovative and unique has been design duo Tony Alfström and Brian Keaney’s main mantra since the inception of Tonfisk Design in 1999. Unable to find a name that seemed to encapsulate the company’s original and personal designs, Tonfisk, which means “tuna fish” in Swedish, was chosen for its quirky nature. Perhaps not a direct correlation, this company’s ability to think creatively is definitely reflected in its off-beat moniker. Tonfisk products are produced by hand at their own factory in Turku, Finland, to ensure the best quality. The company seeks to produce more than everyday objects and as their philosophy dictates, “Tonfisk products are created with a vision of not producing yet another shape but a whole new idea.” The company continues to grow and push the bounds of function.
