Award-winning designer Louise Liljencrantz looks to a range of inspirations to create furniture that introduces a sense of intimacy and belonging in a space. The lines of her shapely coffee tables, lounge chairs and other pieces draw on forms found in the natural world, and her distinctive interior design projects evoke the timeless quality and essence of the Scandinavian modern style.
Liljencrantz credits designers and architects from all over the world with having influenced her work, including notable figures such as Italian architect and designer Carlo Scarpa, American designer and artist Donald Judd, and French decorator Jean-Michel Frank, who got his start in interior design when it was little more than a burgeoning field.
Born in Sweden, Liljencrantz spent many years after high school working in the fashion industry. It wasn't until she had spent time running her own boutique that she realized she wanted to work in interior design. At 30, Liljencrantz returned to school to study graphic design.
Before she even completed her studies, Liljencrantz had landed her first project and established her own design firm in 2009. That project led to more commissions, and her career took off. Since opening her eponymous firm, Liljencrantz has created two distinct brands — Liljencrantz x K.F.K. Master Cabinetmakers and Veermakers.
The designer prides herself on her studio's uncompromising pursuit of quality through ethical design practices and rich materials, and this commitment characterizes these brands — Liljencrantz is as known for her designs for hospitality properties as much as she is for her high-gloss Chunky Cloud coffee table and other striking home accessories and furnishings made in walnut, oak or steel burned in linseed oil. The studio’s designs are made by Veermakers or handcrafted by master cabinetmakers at Karlsson Fernaeus Kemppainen Snickeri AB in Stockholm.
