fika time
At TDoS, design is not only about form and function - it’s also about human connection. It’s the quiet force behind the studio’s creative culture: a ritual of openness and reflection - a space where ideas are exchanged, perspectives are broadened, and relationships are nurtured.
In a world that often moves too fast, fika reminds TDoS of the value of time, presence, and shared purpose - qualities that are reflected in every project the studio brings to life.
cruise ship
By merging timeless elegance with forward-thinking solutions, TDoS creates spaces that welcome, inspire and connect. Sixty years of experience guide every decision, ensuring that each new vessel carries both heritage and vision towards the horizon.
cruise yacht
TDoS’s experience in cruise design led the studio to rethink the model itself, questioning how the scale and efficiency of a cruise vessel could coexist with the intimacy of a private yacht. The cruise yacht concept is its answer and a sector it has helped bring to life.
river cruise ship
TDoS’s history in ship design has shaped a clear understanding that river cruising is not about scale, but about connection. For TDoS, the route is the starting point of every river vessel. Behind the scenes, multidisciplinary teams ensure structural integrity and operational clarity, allowing the guest experience to feel effortless and authentic.
expedition cruise
Expedition cruising is about access, and access depends on design. With years of experience in complex shipbuilding, TDoS creates vessels where advanced operational needs are met seamlessly, without compromising comfort.
