Andreas Klipping Design

Andreas Klippinge specializes in sustainable design for industrial manufacturing in furniture, lighting, and everyday objects. He was educated at the Linnaeus University in Växjö, Sweden, where he continues to reside and operate his studio, since 2011. He holds a BFA in design with a focus on sustainable development.

"I believe that my design is perceived as functional, inviting, and simple. Human behavior is often the source of my inspiration, along with references from design and art history. The end product should be humble toward the user, include details that improve everyday life, have a long lifespan, be recyclable, and please the eye."

The studio has a fascination with high quality and industrial production, and enjoys working in close collaboration to design products that reflect the client's values and the needs of the market.

A sustainable design perspective runs through all partnerships in the form of conscious material choices and manufacturing processes that consider not only economic and technical, but also environmental and social aspects.

Skapande Skola


AKD samarbetar med Fagrabäckskolan i Växjö och fyra stycken 8:e klasser (ca 90 elever), i ett projekt finansierat av Kulturrådet vid namn Skapande Skola. Min roll i projektet består i att jag inspirerar, undervisar, håller i workshops och handleder eleverna i den uppgift jag har varit med om att formulera. Projektet sträcker sig över hela höstterminen och ska resultera i en sittanordning för en bestämd målgrupp och en specifik miljö/situation, där eleverna jobbar i grupper om två.

Bildspelet ovan visar några modeller från dagens workshop med klass 8 E. Workshopen gick ut på att göra snabba skisser i modellform med hjälp av papper, kartong och ståltråd. Eleverna fick 5 minuter på sig att rita ett spännande bord, sedan 40 minuter på sig att göra en modell av handskissen.

The beast is unleashed...

...into the world of the wide web – welcome to klippinge.com! AKD is behind the web design and I would like to give a hand to Mikael at Blue Mist for making them fingers tap the code!

With the AK-BLOG I aim to write and give thoughts about design related matters. Such as what AKD is currently up to, peeps from the design process, inspirations, photos, must-sees and interesting links.

Thank you for the visit and please return!
