Product and interior designer Nika Zupanc became a globally recognised name with the launch of the Lolita lamp, her first object to be produced by Moooi. Nika Zupanc works as an independent designer who is constantly involved in fresh projects that grow out of distinctive interpretations of modern culture, contemporary design and available technological options. Her praised limited edition collections and installations are exhibited around the world.
Her conceptual installations I Will Buy Flowers Myself (2009) and Gone with the Wind (2010) – a collection of objects inside blown-up doll house structures – became a hallmark of Milan Design Week and saw her evolving into an authentic global voice.
The Black Cherry lamp, now one of the iconic pieces of her own brand, also debuted at Milan Design Week.
The installations that followed, Selfdiscipline (2011) and Summertime (2012), mark the beginning of limited edition collections in partnership with Rossana Orlandi, where with a stubborn passion Nika Zupanc examines the nature of furniture.
In 2012, her hometown of Ljubljana had the privilege to be the first with an interior designed and art-directed by Zupanc personally. The noir refurbishment of As Aperitivo is an introduction to her new venture of designing interiors. And, last but not least, in the grand scale of things, in november 2013 Nika Zupanc presented a wooden structure, a pavilion, a room of one‘s own as part of an exhibition Esprit Dior: Miss Dior in Galerie Courbe – Grand Palais in Paris.
