What Tillberg Web Development AB does

Tillberg Design of Sweden AB (TDoS) is a privately held marine architecture and interior design studio, wholly owned by the Viken Group conglomerate and headquartered in Höganäs, Sweden with offices in the USA and Singapore. Founded by Robert Tillberg in 1964, the firm has delivered 205+ vessels over 61 years and positions itself as the pioneer of the cruise yacht segment. Its work spans four vessel categories: cruise ships, cruise yachts, river cruise ships, and expedition vessels, with named customers across luxury (Four Seasons Yachts, Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, Regent Seven Seas, Cunard, Crystal, Oceania), premium (Princess, Norwegian), mainstream (TUI, MSC), expedition (Hurtigruten, Swan Hellenic), and river (Transcend) operators.

The studio's core offering is full-scope design services: interior and exterior concept design, master planning, GA (general arrangement) coordination, signage programmes, FF&E curation supported by what the company describes as the industry's largest marine materials library, and on-site design consultancy during shipyard construction. Notable technical differentiators include the world's largest LED screen at sea (17.5 x 6.5 metres) aboard Hurtigruten's MS Fridtjof Nansen, concealed lifeboat cover flaps on Four Seasons I, and a transverse marina on the same vessel. TDoS also leads a sustainability programme tied to SMI, Water Revolution Foundation, and WWF.

The business model is B2B professional services: project-based fees negotiated per vessel engagement, acquired through enterprise field sales, tender processes, referrals, and reputation. Leadership comprises Group CEO Anna Silvesjö, co-founders Fredrik Johansson and Michal Jackiewicz, Creative Director Martin Butler, Partner & Sustainability Director Helena Sawelin, Partner & Signage Director Carl Lesvoix, Asia GM Peter SS Tan, and Head of FF&E Studio Martina Viti. Headcount is 51-100 and revenue is not publicly disclosed.
