Born and educated in Sweden, Sjögren is something of a creative chameleon. She has been a successful fashion designer in Stockholm, organised A-list parties for the Parisian elite, a prop and interior designer in London and most recently, founded cutting edge design agency ‘DO Original’. Sjögren draws inspiration from the relationship between urban life and nature. In practice, influences grow into ideas, ideas take on a shape that she will then translate into media and colour. Once all the details are finalised in her mind, the building process starts and does not stop until the work is complete. |
