Gärde Design is a Stockholm-based studio partnering with founders shaping the future. We build distinctive, enduring identities through typography, branding, and digital design—turning ambitious ideas into sharp, scalable systems. Our approach is concept-driven and cross-disciplinary, blending contemporary aesthetics with functional clarity. Rooted in craft and defined by execution, we work where strategy meets beauty, and where clarity creates impact. As we expand into our own type foundry, we continue to push design forward — letter by letter, brand by brand. For project inquiries get in touch: hello@gardedesign.se
