We met Iina at the Ikea headquarters in Älmhult, Sweden. We talked about her creative career and the steps she took that lead her there. From being an independent designer to working for a global company such as Ikea. 

Iina Vuorivirta’s design could be described as minimalistic. She enjoys simplicity and the condensation of function in the designs. Some of her favorite materials are ceramics and glass. Her vases in the IKEA PS 2017 collection explored how the patterns that appear in recycled glass could be used as a design feature in objects.

A series of interviews about relevant topics in and around the creative industry and the state of the arts. With honesty and in simple words, we aim to stimulate the thought and discussion process around creative careers.
