Verkstad is a brand that celebrates the spirit of creativity and community. In Swedish, "verkstad" means workshop or laboratory, and this concept forms the foundation of their ethos. The brand draws inspiration from the experiences of the founder, Monika Lidman, who grew up surrounded by inventors, designers, engineers, and fabricators in her Swedish family. Verkstad aims to recreate the vibrant atmosphere of the workshop, where neighbors gathered, ideas flowed, and incredible products were born.

Monika Lidman's artwork reflects her bi-cultural upbringing and explores the complexities of life and cultural expectations. Through her art, she creates narratives that resonate with shared human experiences, offering healing and protection against social isolation.

In addition to art, Verkstad also offers the musical talents of John Kieltyka. His versatile approach to different mediums allows him to transmit meaning and find unique solutions for each idea he explores. His work has been exhibited widely and his debut album received praise from national publications.

Located in beautiful West Seattle, Verkstad invites you to join their creative community and become part of their story.
