I have known that I want to be designer ever since I finished high school so after a couple of years doing preparatory art courses I started studying furniture design at Istituto Europeo di Design in Rome.
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 have known that I want to be designer ever since I finished high school so after a couple of years doing preparatory art courses I started studying furniture design at Istituto Europeo di Design in Rome. After two years in Rome I finished my bachelor in industrial design in Milan. I have always been a fan of Dutch design so after finishing my studies in Italy I moved to Eindhoven where I did an internship with Julien Carretero followed by an employment at small-scale furniture company JSPR. In 2012 I moved back to Sweden to start my own design studio.
Can you tell us more about your company / design studio?
