DESIGNER’S portrait
Ida Linea H./ Creative Director
I am inspired by everyday life and I encourage others to live in the present. It is the here and now.
Curate your own life, create your own story and make things happen. I believe that making room for personality to shine creates inspiring environments and opens the space to interesting set-ups and spatial relationships with others. Surrounding yourself with original things that mean something to you or remind you of something or someone, creates authentic atmospheres.
Our “Favourite spot” philosophy is created to support or to frame your artefacts – in a space where you set the scene. This space emphasizes and celebrates the uniqueness of the individual.
Our designs are characterized by Scandinavian heritage in terms of the ambitiously high quality level and the common idea of surrounding oneself with less, but important things.
In order to secure a product’s life and width of use, we aim to go in a new direction, finding materials and methods that support these thoughts. Detailing, custom-made solutions and manufacturing methods are of primary interest in the process to create and to develop innovative, contemporary furniture. Reducing material and balancing on the limit of the technically impossible fascinates me as an designer. I am unwilling to compromise when it comes to design and realisation of our ideas. Playing with strong silhouettes has become an importaint element in my work and this is something that Friends & Founders will continue to explore.
