Skandilo®

Skandilo is a Finnish furniture and interior objects brand from Jyväskylä, founded by designer Dr. Simo Lehtonen. Its pieces in walnut, ash and marble are shaped as organic architecture for the home: calm, reduced and made to last. I designed and built the brand's first website: a custom Framer experience with Shopify behind it, launched for Skandilo's debut at Salone del Mobile.Milano.

The brief

Skandilo had no website. It needed one that could stand among established interior design brands with the same restraint and clarity, while showing a strong identity of its own. It had to feel organic and alive, never static, just like the furniture. The goals were brand presence, awareness and new conversations with architects and interior designers, while also speaking to private clients.

The approach

I led the project end to end: art direction, research, content architecture, UI design, development and launch. The site breathes: generous space, quiet typography and slow, natural movement let each piece and each material be seen properly. The structure follows how professionals actually work, with dedicated sections for products, materials and projects, plus downloadable technical sheets for specification. Behind the bespoke Framer front end, Shopify handles the catalogue and inventory, so the design stays fully custom while the commerce side stays solid and scalable.

The result

The site launched in April 2026, just ahead of Skandilo's debut at Salone del Mobile in Milan. It currently works as a refined catalogue, with online sales coming next. The most exciting part is in progress: a real-time 3D configurator, designed to let clients shape each piece directly on the site, launching in the coming weeks.

The live site may have evolved since launch, as the client now manages and updates it independently.
