Biography
Background
Nika Zupanc is established in Ljubljana, Slovenia, since 2008. Her work covers product design and interiors, and she explores the limits of the industry when it comes to emotional effect and the juxtaposition of materials.
Signature Style
Nika Zupanc makes careful selections of her themes and forms. She offers a look at the furniture-design market, which is predominantly male and pours its aspiration into the technical, rational, sober and utilitarian, with the intuitive, eclectic, vain and hysterical as the opposite. To do so she uses her poetic judgment, inner battles with stereotypes and long-lasting affairs with technologies. Her quote: "Let it be full of love".
Notable Works
- Lolita suspended (2008), with the Lolita Table Lamp
- Knitty Lounge Chair
Legacy
Her work has been called “punk elegance” (Elle USA), “Techno chic” (BusinessWeek) and “larger than life” (Clear Magazine), and has been featured in Wallpaper, Icon, Frame, the Financial Times and Elle Decor.
