What the agency does
Tomai works at the intersection of architecture, interiors, art direction, and scenography. Projects are developed as spatial systems where brand intent, user behavior, and technical execution are resolved together. The studio partners with founders, operators, and brand teams to move from strategic framing to built implementation with clear design authorship and disciplined documentation.
Sectors and project types
We work across retail, hospitality, residential, and cultural environments, with experience spanning flagship stores, pop-ups, brand installations, restaurants, hotels, private residences, exhibitions, and public-facing spaces. Each project is approached through context, audience, and operational requirements rather than a fixed visual formula.
Process
More than designers—we're strategic partners from vision to activation.
01
Strategy
Market context, brand position, and audience behavior are mapped before design decisions are made.
02
Concept Development
Spatial storytelling, layout logic, and creative direction are defined as a coherent design framework.
03
Architecture & Interiors
The concept is translated into plans, material systems, and buildable detail packages.
04
Execution Support
Design intent is carried through production and build with coordination across partners and suppliers.
05
Activation
Launch, customer experience, and post-occupancy refinement are considered as part of the project lifecycle.
Five Pillars
The Five Pillars define how Tomai works: design quality, partnership, and responsibility are treated as operational standards, not slogans.
The Agency
Tomai is a multidisciplinary architecture and design studio focused on concept-driven environments with cultural and commercial relevance. Projects are shaped through strategic thinking, behavioral insight, and spatial precision.
The Values
Aim high, work with courage, treat people well, collaborate across disciplines, and act responsibly. These principles guide decisions from early concept work to final delivery.
The Way
Every project begins with listening, observation, and analysis. The design vision is then developed in close partnership with the client and tested against context, audience, and long-term value.
The DNA
As an independent studio, Tomai works with a long-term mindset and a strong emphasis on entrepreneurial responsibility. Partnerships are built for continuity, not one-off output.
Operating Model & Sustainability
Cross-disciplinary teams scale to project needs while ESG considerations are integrated into material decisions, planning, and implementation. Sustainability is treated as a baseline requirement for future-relevant spatial work.
Why clients work with Tomai
Tomai brings more than 25 years of experience across multiple sectors and operating models. The studio is used to working where legacy industries meet new technologies, and where commercial, cultural, and brand requirements need to be resolved in the same space.Teams are assembled around the demands of the project, combining strategic thinking, design development, and delivery support in one process.
Studios and network
Through a trusted network of architects, builders & creatives, Tomai operates through creative hubs in Stockholm, Copenhagen, Paris, and Amsterdam. This structure supports local sensitivity and coordinated delivery across markets.
