Back to members

Kajsa Ståhl is a London-based graphic designer specialising in collaborative and cross-disciplinary projects that involve archives, collections, interviews, and travel and result in books, posters, catalogues, billboards, websites, identities, exhibitions and films. Her deft treatment of materials, colours, words, fonts and sequence results in unique and expressive productions. She is one fourth of the graphic design collective Åbäke, founded in 2000, and one fourth of the publishing house Dent—De—Leone, founded in 2007. Her early projects involved collaborations with architects, writers, musicians, fashion designers and curators. She taught at the Royal College of Art, London (2004–2010) and took part in several workshops throughout Europe (Sandberg, HDK, Konstfack etc.). Most recently, she was a member of the jury for “The most beautiful swiss books” (2023). Clients and collaborators include the JB Blunk Estate, Nottingham Contemporary, Whitechapel Gallery, Linder, Anne Hardy, Martino Gamper, Francis Upritchard, Max Lamb, Maison Kitsuné and more.
