Spending her childhood years in Asia, Nina recalls her first confrontation with art and things of beauty among the everyday sceneries - among Korean women’s silk dresses, in the meticulous dance-like presentation of meals, on the beach among the scattered shells waiting to be picked and then displayed on the bedside table, but also in her home where European objects coexisted in strange euphony with the exotic pieces her parents collected over the years. With a family background in the antique’s trade, the merging of her European roots with influences from her upbringing in India, Malaysia, Korea are the foundations behind her design practice. With admiration for craftsmanship and time-honored skills, Nina infuses her designs and interiors with a captivating mix of cultural heritage, juxtapositions and artistic flair, always compelled by the question: what makes an object wanted to be held ..either in hand or in desire..
