Private Commission

If you're looking for a partner to create something bespoke and truly unique, we offer the artistic expertise and innovative mindset to meet any challenge with creativity. No matter the scale of your project, we’ll help turn your vision into reality.
Welcome to Monica Förster Design Studio

Your creative partner

With over 30 years of experience in design, Monica has built an international network of the finest artisans and trusted collaborators. This allows us to create bespoke pieces in wood, stone, glass, metal, and textiles.
We offer a tailored partnership designed specifically to align with your needs, vision, and dreams. Whether it’s a unique piece of furniture, a house, interior design, or functional art – every project is approached with openness, integrity, and commitment.
Whether you are a private client, interior designer, or architect, we work alongside you to develop high end solutions that are as functional as they are beautiful. Our approach is deeply personal, fully engaged, and defined by the highest level of craftsmanship.

Realising your bespoke project

We work alongside some of the most renowned companies globally ensuring that every aspect of your project is crafted to the highest standard of excellence. We have access to exclusive techniques and rare craftsmanship skills, available to a select few, ensuring that only your vision and aspirations define the limits of possibility.
To maintain the level of focus and dedication each project deserves, we take on only a select number of private commissions each year. This approach guarantees you our full commitment and attention, from initial concept through to final delivery.

Our process

To ensure a seamless and successful outcome, we approach each commission as a collaborative partnership. We work closely with you through the following stages:
1. Initial Meeting – Aligning your needs, vision, and budget
2. Concept Development – Creating and approving the initial ideas and direction
3. Design – Developing sketches, models, finishes, materials and details
4. Final Presentation – Renderings and technical drawings
5. Project Management & Execution – Coordinating production and overseeing the entire process
6. Follow up – Ensuring delivery meets your vision and expectations

For any inquiries or specific requests, please do not hesitate to contact us at bespoke@monicaforster.se
We would be pleased to welcome you to our studio for a personal meeting where we can explore how we can collaborate to bring your vision to life.
A warm welcome,
Monica, Harald & Thelma
