Simon Bågstam

Adjunct Assistant Lecturer

My knowledge of traditional craftsmanship and modern techniques helps me meet students at various stages. The close student-teacher relationship fosters a dynamic environment where everyone has the opportunity to grow and develop.

As long as I can remember, wood, craftsmanship, and creation have been central to my life. This passion has shaped my path and led me to where I am today.

With a solid background in boatbuilding, I contribute to the unique expertise gathered within the walls of Campus Lidingö. As a former design student at Malmstens, I can relate to the education and the different stages the students go through, which gives me a deeper understanding of their development and challenges. I have a great interest in traditional craftsmanship combined with modern techniques. The knowledge I contribute in my role at Malmstens enables me to meet students at various stages of their education. The close relationship between students and teachers is unique and creates a dynamic environment where we all have the opportunity to develop – both as educators and students.

A wise colleague at Malmstens often says: To look ahead, you first need to look back. This idea permeates both my work as a teacher and my role as a designer – and it is a cornerstone of the education at Malmstens.

I teach and mentor students in the design program and also teach digital tools. When I'm not at Malmstens, I run my own design studio and take on assignments for various industry players, including IKEA of Sweden.
