MEET THE DESIGNER
MATS WALLSTEN
Mats Wallsten was born on the Swedish island Lidingö in 1988. The
family of Wallsten has a long tradition of designers and Mats started
working for his father’s yacht design house at the age of six. He knew
early on in life that he wanted to pursue a creative career and chose to
attend one of Scandinavia’s most prestigious design school, University
College of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm.
Cutting edge engineering techniques and elegant minimalistic design
are what Mats has embodied in Sudio’s portfolio. Mats believes that
a product should be intuit and ready to use at all time. You can see an
example of Mats’ philosophy being employed in our stay-in-ear feature
(available on the model Klang) which lets the user wear the earphones
like an accessory around the neck, ready to use at all time. Stay-in-
ear prolongs lifetime as the earphones wears out every time they are
squeezed down in one’s pocket.
