Ever wondered how colour can influence your mood and creativity? 

Join us as we embark on a vibrant journey with multidisciplinary designer Clara von Zweigbergk, whose passion for colour has shaped her career and outlook on life.

Clara von Zweigbergk runs her own design studio with a focus on handcraft, paper, form and colour. Clara’s creative process is often shaped and influenced by experimentation and play and her design is characterised by simplicity, balance and of course colour.
She has worked with clients such as IKEA, Louis Poulsen, HAY and Nike. And has won multiple international design awards such as the Bruno Mathsson Award and Wallpaper Design Award.

Clara grew up surrounded by a kaleidoscope of hues, a childhood memory of colours that distinctly influenced her perception of space and mood. 
In this episode she shares her experiences of breaking through the monochrome trends of the 90s. Discover how she has witnessed the evolution of colour acceptance in design and how it has become a crucial part of contemporary creative practices. 
Clara talks about how her travels inspire her endless collection of coloured papers, and she shares her innovative approach to design, emphasising the tactile selection of colours that resonate on a deeper emotional level.

Wrapping up this episode with the musical experiment “The Sound of a Colour”, this time composed by musician Roxy Jules that creates the sound of Blue.

It was a very personal conversation, and I felt inspired by Clara’s tactile approach to colours. I hope you will enjoy it too. Happy listening.
