The Philosophy

ABOUT

Hailing from Sweden, Henriette’s aesthetic stems from Scandinavian minimalism. Through a passion for the creative arts, she gained a B.A. in Art History at The American University of Paris. While living in Paris, she developed an admiration for vintage furniture and interior design.

She cultivated this interest further by studying Interior Design at Parsons School of Design in New York City, and exploring various cities. She has since lived and worked in London,  San Francisco, and Austin.

Henriette has designed restaurants, hotels, spas, workspaces, and homes for companies such as Selldorf Architects, Soho House & Co, WeWork and Blueground. She's currently the VP of Design for boutique hotel firm, Life House.

Currently based in Houston, Texas, Henriette runs a small design studio for private and commercial work.
