Olga Engel harmoniously fuses materiality with minimalism while twisting functionality with a light mood and poetic touch of irony. Olga always takes cue from personal stories, bringing sensitivity and charisma to her works and the space they sit in. Her practice is fuelled by her desire to metamorphose ordinary objects into whimsical design pieces by giving them new, unexpected functions.
After graduating from the Moscow Textile Academy, Olga proceeded to practice graphic design and packaging design for cosmetic brands. In 2010, Olga received an Interior Designer Diploma from Moscow’s “Details'' Design School, and continued her studies at the KLC School of Design in London. There, Olga interned at the studio of renowned British designer Mark Humphrey where she gained her experience as a product designer.
Olga currently works in between Latvia and France.
Olga Engel’s pieces can be found in private collections across Europe and USA as well as at Moscow Design Museum.
