With a Swedish mother and Danish father, Christina Liljenberg Halstrøm shows her Nordic roots in her furniture through a minimalistic approach and choice of materials, like wood, leather and wool. Function is always the starting point and dictates the idiom of the finished pieces. Christina Liljenberg Halstrøm is currently living in Copenhagen, Denmark, working with companies as Trip Trap Denmark, Design-Nation and Menu as well as focusing on projects for various exhibitions. She did her initial studies of design and art in Stockholm, Sweden and graduated in 2007 from The Royal Danish Academy, School of Design, Copenhagen, Denmark.
