Sophie Lou Jacobsen

Sophie Lou Jacobsen is a French-American designer currently based in New York City. She designs objects, furniture and rooms. Two years ago she set up her studio and since then has been primarily concerned with everyday objects, mostly with the medium of glass and the examination of the interaction between object and user. Her work stems from the idea that objects have the innate power to enhance their users' mood through form and function. She focuses on simple objects and rituals to see how she can transform them in surprising and delightful ways and enhance the user experience. She believes that the objects we surround ourselves with can and should have a certain poetry that creates a relationship between human and object based on mutual respect.
