Humans since 1982

Humans since 1982 is a contemporary art and design studio that engages beyond traditional definitions of art, design and technology. Founded in Sweden in 2009, we create exclusive objects based on accessible concepts with the aim of enabling people to reflect on everyday life. Our products, in particular our best-known series’ ClockClock and A million Times, are iconic statement pieces that deliver a unique experience, immersing the viewer in the concept to facilitate surprise and wonder. Based in Stockholm, Human since 1982’s international team of 13 highly motivated and energetic individuals transform ideas and experimentation into tangible, high-quality products. We work directly with our clients, as well as through an international network of galleries, retailers, arts consultants and interior designers that enable these pieces to be found in significant private and public collections world-wide. Recent major projects have included collaborations with luxury fashion houses, international airports, contemporary art galleries and museums, as well as high-profile commercial collaborations with IKEA.
