Designer Spotlight: Gry Holmskov

With humble beginnings as a cabinet maker, Gry Holmskov has expanded her skills to include design and creation. She graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture in 2009, and has had many grants and traveling scholarships during her time as a student, including a sponsored DIS summerschool program. She is now both a freelance designer as well as a teacher at the Danish Institute for Study Abroad. Her piece pictured above is titled Angel, and incorporates a minimalistic seat with no backrest and fanned out base. The silhouette is the inspiration for the divine name, and exemplifies all of Holmskov’s work – simple, industrial, and beautiful.
