Interview with Frida Hultén

Could you please tell us more about your art and design background? What made you become an artist/designer? Have you always wanted to be a designer?
I suppose I have always been creative, but never considered it my occupation until 1998. It started with an Interior Design course in London, it then went on to my own clothing label/shop in Cape Town to finally ending up making jewellery for humans and dogs.
What kinds of works do you like designing most?
I enjoy collaborating with other people; creating collections or a bespoke piece. The process of combining my design from a client´s mood board.
What was the first thing you designed for a company?
A jewellery Collection for a clothing brand in South Africa called "Hip Hop".
What is your favorite material / platform / technology?
I love working with semi precious stones and leather, and combining different metals.
What kind of emotions do you feel when your designs are realized?
The feeling you have when you reach the top of a mountain after a long hike, beautiful feeling.
From your point of view, what are the responsibilities of a designer for society and environment?
We all have to do what we can, as a Designer there is the choice of material, or recycle / up-cycle.
How do you think the "design field" is evolving? What is the future of design?
My hope is that we go back to smaller Design studio´s, smaller local factories.
When was your last exhibition and where was it? And when do you want to hold your next exhibition?
I was part of "Premium Pet Suppliers" Expo in Hong Kong. Most recently I had an exhibition during "Milan Jewellery Week" 2022.
Where does the design inspiration for your works come from? How do you feed your creativity? What are your sources of inspirations?
My main inspiration comes from the Ancient History of the whole World.
How would you describe your design style? What made you explore more this style and what are the main characteristics of your style? What's your approach to design?
It has a Byzantine body, an African heart and a Native American Spirit.
Where do you live? Do you feel the cultural heritage of your country affects your designs? What are the pros and cons during designing as a result of living in your country?
I currently live in Milan, Italy. At the moment it has only been a bonus: I feel more expressive.
What are your suggestions to companies for working with a designer? How can companies select a good designer?
I feel that the most important aspect when it comes to collaborations is how well you understand each other, the connection.
Could you please share some pearls of wisdom for young designers? What are your suggestions to young, up and coming designers?
Ask questions, show interest, get involved, collaborate with others.
Designing can sometimes be a really time consuming task, how do you manage your time?
Working from home is important for me. Don´t have to commute which saves time, I can work without distractions and at any time of the day.
What type of design work do you enjoy the most and why?
When I get I bespoke order from a client that I know and worked with before. They give me a brief of what they want, then leave it up to me, the trust they have for me is beautiful.
