Mia Hamborg

Background

Mia Hamborg is a Norwegian designer. According to &Tradition she began her creative journey at the Steneby School of Crafts and Design in Gothenburg.

Signature Style

&Tradition says her work blends functionality with a playful sense of humor, so that pieces are both practical and whimsical. It describes her as working in the tradition of wood turning and reimagining her Nordic heritage for contemporary environments.

Notable Works

• Shuffle MH1, a table of stackable lacquered MDF and solid wood elements, dated 2010 on the &Tradition page; the brand calls it a meeting of character and craft in vibrant colour and form

Legacy

The saved sources link her name to the Shuffle table; the Brio Stacking Clown of her childhood is named as the source of its colours and its build-it-yourself idea.
