What Stylt Trampoli does

Stylt Trampoli AB is a privately held, Gothenburg-based branding and design agency founded in 1988 by Erik Nissen Johansen. The firm operates as a B2B professional services studio specializing in concept development, interior architecture, brand identity, and marketing for the global hospitality and experience industry. Its work spans hotels, restaurants, spas, coworking spaces, themed attractions, and branded corporate environments for a client roster that includes Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, Scandic, Strawberry (Nordic Choice), IHG, Design Hotels, 25hours, LEGO, Espresso House, AstraZeneca, Hufvudstaden, and IWG/Regus. Projects are delivered across Europe, the Middle East, and North America (23+ cities), with a recent flagship — the 474-room Hotel Draken — adjacent to its Gothenburg studio.

The agency's core product is hospitality design services, structured around narrative-driven concept development that grounds each project in local history, culture, or thematic identity. Supporting offerings include bespoke graphic profiles, custom signage, tableware, and merchandise under its Brand Design Services line, two coworking concepts (Cecil and No18), and a licensed consumer wallpaper collection ('Windswept by Stylt') developed with Rebel Walls in 2022. The firm has accumulated high-credibility industry recognition including UNESCO Prix Versailles awards (2017, 2019), AHEAD Global 'Best New Concept of the World' (2022), and multiple Outstanding Property Award London wins (2023).

Stylt generates revenue through project-based, quote-based professional services engagements — pricing is not publicly disclosed and contracts are negotiated per engagement. There is no disclosed external funding, parent company, or M&A activity; the firm is partner-structured with CEO Carolina Dyrö alongside founder/creative director Erik Nissen Johansen and partner-level senior staff. Headcount sits in the 11–50 band, consistent with a senior-led boutique model where growth is driven by reputation, awards, and referral rather than capital deployment.
