Having studied design at the Oslo School of Architecture and the School of Arts & Crafts in Gothenburg, Oslo-born designer Daniel Rybakken opened two design studios — one in his native city and another in his adopted home. The recipient of a number of awards, which range from the 'Best of the Best' Red Dot Award in Singapore (2007), to the Design Report Award for best designer
at Salone Satellite in Milan (2009) Rybakken has demonstrated a seamless ability to balance the worlds of art and design — an approach that manifests in a series of limited edition pieces, art installations and prototypes for serial production.
