Mette Schelde

Mette Schelde (*1985) is a Danish architect and designer who since 2012 has developed a wide portfolio of furniture, lighting and room concepts from her own studio.
Mette Schelde's designs are characterized by a sculptural and at the same time functional aesthetic, which she develops in an intuitive and interdisciplinary design process. For Schelde a design is always followed by a construction, which is then tested, whereby users and the function of an object derived from them are always the focus of her design.

Schelde combines traditional materials such as wood, glass and metal with innovative technologies, creating designs that harmoniously combine tradition and the present. Her joy of experimentation meets craftsmanship and an eye for sensual details. Clear lines and reduced compositions are characteristic of her designs.

Studio Mette Schelde as received numerous awards for its work and has cooperated with renowned brands such as Please Wait to be Seated, Bang & Olufsen or Fritz Hansen, for whom Schelde developed the MS series of lamps which convince with their clear lines and minimalist design language.
