ABOUT

I love spaces that invite people to explore.

I design with the future in mind.

I create in collaboration with humans and fungi.

I believe good ideas grow through exchange.

I learn by doing, growing and questioning.

I question the way we build and take a closer look at materiality.

I search for new ways of designing and creating.

I see nature not as a backdrop, but as a collaborator.

I am curious to hear your ideas and explore what we could create together.

Lina is a Cologne-based designer, exhibition designer and the founder of Form & Fungi. Working at the intersection of architecture, spatial design and material exploration, she creates spaces and objects that invite people to explore new perspectives and rethink their relationship with the natural world. In 2023, she graduated with an MA in Interior Architecture from the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague, the Netherlands. Her graduation project received the New European Bauhaus Prize 2024 in the Rising Stars category, Reconnecting with Nature.
