Who is Behind Gusta design? – A Glimpse into Aleksi’s Home and Philosophy

At the heart of Gusta design is one man – Aleksi. I am a passionate collector of Danish vintage design, a lover of aesthetics, and an advocate for thoughtful, quality interiors. I don't just look for furniture, but for stories. Pieces with soul, timeless beauty, and a deep connection to Nordic design heritage.

My fascination with vintage furniture began early on. I recall being drawn to how old pieces can still feel fresh – even modern – when placed in the right setting. 

Danish design combines function and beauty in an exceptional way. Every line, every joint is intentional. It's endlessly fascinating.

A Home Where Every Object Is Chosen with Intention

My home is like a Gusta design showroom – but more relaxed, more lived-in. A space where chairs, tables, and lighting exist as part of everyday life. High-quality wood, soft forms, and natural materials dominate the atmosphere. Each room has its own mood, yet the whole space breathes the same quiet aesthetic: timeless beauty you never tire of.

I never fill my home just for the sake of it. Every piece deserves to be seen, used, and appreciated. I value quiet luxury – that feeling when something still feels right, year after year.

A Love for the Details

My work with Gusta design is a continuous process of searching, selecting, and thoughtful curation. Together with my partner, I travel regularly to Denmark to find timeless pieces that meet my criteria: quality, aesthetics, and authenticity. I often buy with the mindset that I could see the item in my own home. And every now and then, emotion takes the lead over reason.

Gusta Design is not just a store. It's a way of thinking about space, time, and beauty.

My home serves as the inspiration for Gusta design's curated collection – a place where design is allowed to breathe. It reminds us that the best objects don't age – they become more meaningful with time.
