Susanne Philippson
Susanne Philippson vanta
un’esperienza ventennale nel mondo
del design a livello internazionale.
Dopo gli studi in interior design al
Ravensbourne College di Londra,
nel 2005 consegue la laurea presso
la Design Academy Eindhoven.
Grazie a continue esposizioni tra
il Salone del Mobile di Milano e
quello di Copenhagen, riesce ben
presto ad affermarsi e a lanciare
propri progetti quali la scrivania
compatta per Habitat o la Cherrystone
Shirt per Droog Design.Tokyo
rappresenta certamente una pietra
miliare per la sua carriera:
nel 2003, quando era ancora solo
una studentessa, la Philippson è
stata uno dei primi designer stranieri
a entrare nel team di progettisti
del colosso giapponese Muji.
Tant’è che poco dopo, nel 2004,
costituisce la propria azienda
e lavora con clienti internazionali.
Realizza i primi progetti d’illuminazione
in collaborazione con Pallucco:
Guardian of Light, le serie Joiin
e la linea Crinolina sono alcuni
dei progetti creati tra il 2006 e
il 2009 che hanno ottenuto la
nomination per il premio Compasso
D’Oro per il design. Susanne
Philippson, con la sua linea di
prodotti, ha fornito ampia consulenza
a Pallucco, persino progettando
svariati allestimenti per lo stand
fieristico aziendale. La sua attività
di brand consultant ricopre un ruolo
fondamentale nella professione di
Susanne Philippson che attualmente
lavora tra Potsdam e Berlino come
designer per ambienti contract.
Susanne Philippson draws from
almost 20 years experience in
the international field of design.
After studying furniture design at
Ravensbourne College in London
she graduated from the Design
Academy Eindhoven in 2005.
Through continuous exhibitions
at furniture fairs in Copenhagen
and Milan she managed to launch
projects early in her career, e.g.
the compact desk for Habitat or
a Cherrystone T-Shirt for Droog

first foreign designers to work with
the in-house design team at Muji in
Tokyo, 2003, while she still was a
student. She set up her own company
straight after in 2004 and has since
worked with clients internationally.
With Pallucco her first lighting
families were conceived. Guardian

lighting family Crinolina were
amongst the projects created
between 2006 and 2009 and have

nowadays where she works as a
contract interior designer with
base in Potsdam and Berlin.
