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 / Model making


I'm still engaged in Skapande Skola on Fagrabäck school in Växjö. This is my fourth round since fall of 2010 as a mentor and source of inspiration for the school's eighth graders. The teams, with two pupils in each, have together with me selected their best idea for some kind of sitting device suiting a team specific target group and currently work is underway for all teams to produce scale models of their sketches and drawings.

The Swedsih Arts Council's Skapande Skola is designed to strengthen collaboration between schools and professional culture. The goal is that pupils will have access to all expressions of culture and that their opportunities for personal creativity increases.
