Pernille Vest is a Danish Interior Stylist. She graduated from the Scandinavian Academy of Fashion Design and worked as an independent fashion designer for several years in Copenhagen and Paris. During that period, she became more and more interested in the styling aspects of fashion and started to style fashion photoshoots for magazines. Soon she began to style interior design, first for magazines and later also for companies. Pernille was part of the founding team for the magazine RUM and later for ARK JOURNAL, which is an internationally distributed magazine for design, architecture, and art. 

Today, Pernille works as an independent Interior Stylist combining her passion for furniture design and art. She curates exhibitions and showrooms, and style catalogs for both Danish and international furniture companies, such as Carl Hansen, Astep, Dagmar London, CC-Tapis, and Molteni.

Mylène Niedzialkowski is a French designer whose practice explores the expressive potential of raw materials through a process of experimentation, reduction, and craftsmanship. Working between Paris and the southwest of France, she creates collectible furniture, lighting, and sculptural objects distinguished by minimal forms, subtle irregularities, and an enduring respect for material integrity. Each work emerges from a careful dialogue with its medium, allowing texture, colour, and inherent properties to guide the creative process rather than impose upon it.

Rooted in an ever-growing archive of found materials, production remnants, textiles, and everyday objects, Niedzialkowski’s practice balances intuitive making with refined precision. Her studio functions as both a material library and a cabinet of curiosities, where local resources and collected fragments become the starting point for new creations. Through this restrained yet poetic approach, she develops timeless works that blur the boundaries between functional design, sculpture, and contemporary craft.
