BUT OF COURSE
A Brief Story
We are BOC – a small Scandinavian design studio based in Stockholm and known for our popular and iconic Come&Draw Table.
“But of course, it makes totally sense.” The idea behind is to challenge and move in-between boundaries. “But of course, we can have both style and play time embedded in the same space.
At BOC, we believe that joy is timeless, joy is creative and joy is for everyone.

Tian Tang
“First life, then space, then furniture. The other way around never works.” – Tian
Tian is the founder + designer of BOC Design Studio. Her way to approach design is grounded in real life research. She gained insights - through observation and talking to people, on these important topics which are closed to heart for her:
What triggers a spontaneous play?
What connects people?
What makes a product loved and used along years?
Tian has a master degree in Child Culture Design in Gothenburg University, a master degree in human interaction design and a bachelor degree in Industrial Design in China. Over the years, beyond this space, she works as a UX researcher for various companies in Stockholm.
