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.

Den Nya Kartan

From handicraft to industry – Den Nya Kartan / The New Map is showcasing the possibilities of local collaborations, between industries and designers/artists. The first round of Den Nya Kartan took place in the province of Skåne, with 24 different collaborations. As the exhibition moves to Vandalorum (museum of contemporary art and design in Värnamo, Småland, Sweden) the time has come for the province of Småland – well known for its large number of small industries – and the start-up of 16 new collaborations. Andreas Klippinge Design is happy to have been selected as one of the sixteen designer/artists to participate, teamed up together with industrial wood workshop Ljungsåsa, specialized in exclusive tabletops for home and public environment.

The exhibition is curated by Jenny Nordberg: Den Nya Kartan is a contribution to the debate on how local and small-scale production can be part of a sustainable society. Invitations to participate were sent out to designers and manufacturers. The invitations were preceded by a match-making exercise where we looked at earlier projects and skills and created constellations that felt exciting and challenging for everyone involved.
