About Manuela Hardy

My main focus on using natural light and exposure to create interesting spaces. I am also very fond of sustainable solutions in every part of the process. This is also where my interest for this work started. I am educated at Fiuni school of architecture & design, Stavanger (ex.2011). A New interest is Furniture design wich I participate With in this competition. I love to create Things, it gives me a New energy and I almost use it as a therapy in my everyday life.

Interview with Manuela Hardy

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`ve always enjoyed crafting, since I was a kid. When my parents could`nt afford the toys I wished for, I sometimes made similar toys myself. I loved to sketch inparticular plans. That`s how I knew I someday wanted to be an architect & deisgner.
Can you tell us more about your company / design studio?
Currently I am a freelancer and mostly do designwork in my sparetime, not as something I need to depend on. It makes my work even more enjoyable.
What is "design" for you?
I like to think of it as something beautiful that is beyond what needed. At the same time it is very needed and important. I believe that beautiful surroundings do an important impact on people.
What is your most favorite design, could you please tell more about it?
I love most of the designs of Arne Jacobsen. I love the organic forms that fit into most interiors.
When do you feel the most creative?
Around spring. That is the time it gets much lighter in Scandinavia. I also feel creative when I am with people who have the same interests.
What kind of emotions do you feel when you design?
All kinds. I do a lot of thinking and my feelings affect the design.
When judging a design as good or bad, which aspects do you consider first?
The visual aspects and also the functionality and that it is original.
What skills are most important for a designer?
To be able to see Things and possibilities before they are realized.
How long does it take to design an object from beginning to end?
It Depends on the size of the project and also on how inspired I feel. It could take from a week to a year or more.
What are your future plans? What is next for you?
At the moment I am busy being a mother for my 3 kids that are still pretty Young. But in the future I would love to design both furniture (maybe also other products) and architecture.
