My name is Elise Nordstad Kolby (she/her, b. 1995, Trondheim, Norway) and I'm a designer, maker and collector and has always had a fascination for things and making. I did a two-year material-based program with wood and metal at USN Notodden before enrolling in the BA and MA at KMD. Specialized in furniture and spatial design with a special interest for how our material surroundings affects us and what effect we, in turn, have on our surroundings. Appreciative of craftsmanship and tradition, but curious of new ways of doing and making. I also engage in more experimental projects and strive to be critical and curious about the state of things.
