Gitta Gschwendtner will give insight into her studio’s practice and talk about some of her projects with regard to narratives in design. Interested parties are cordially invited to join the talk on Wednesday, 15 January 2025, 6 p.m., in presence or stream.
Gitta Gschwendtner runs an independent design studio specialising in design for installations, exhibitions and furniture. Gitta is a designer who takes everyday objects and adds a touch of the unusual to provoke particular associations and memories in people. She came to London from Germany in 1992 to study at Central Saint Martins and then at Kingston University, followed by an MA in furniture design at the Royal College of Art.
Gitta is well known for her witty approach to products such as her 'Strangled Light', and also for designing exhibition spaces. Focusing on conceptually rigorous, visually intriguing, functional design the studio has realised innovative projects for clients such as The Science Museum, The Victoria & Albert Museum, The Wellcome Trust, The British Council, The British Museum, The Southbank Centre, Guy’s Hospital, The National Trust and many more.
