Lisa Hilland (born 1973) is a Swedish designer trained at St Martins College of Art and Design in London, something that has helped inform her Scandinavian aesthetics.  Her professional experience spans furniture and interior accessories design and prestigious brands like Konsthantverk, IKEA, Gärsnäs, Gemla, Design House Stockholm, Orrefors, and Svenskt Tenn.  According to Hilland, "Design is all about feelings for me, communicating with another human through an object.  The material is extremely important in this process as it creates curiosity and enhances the quality of the object."  Hilland is inspired by studying both shapes and phenomena in nature, as well as methods of production and artisanal handicraft and how they maximize the potential of a certain material.
