Helene Tiedemann began her design career as a fashion designer but moved on to study Industrial design Engineering at Central StMartins in London.
After college she spent time employed at architectural offices, such as David Davies Associates and Koncept Stockholm, designing hotels, exhibitions and retail environments at the same time as developing her own career as an independent furniture, textile and product designer and illustrator. She aslo had many years as an in house designer at Habitat.
She has a post graduate in Architecture and several years of Psychology studies, all contributing to a multifaceted view of the role of design in creating sustainable and life enhancing environments.
Her work ranges from small conceptual projects to large commercial interiors. She sees design as a tool both in an aesthetic sense but also as a constant force influencing most aspects of daily life. Each project, regardless of theme, size, consumer, client or reason have its own myriad of implications to consider.
She is passionate about teaching and has run several courses at institutions like Beckmans College of Design, Konstfack, Royal College of Art in London as well as being employed as a lecturer in Product Design at Central St.Martin.
Helene has also held a seat on the board for Sveriges Designer, representing Furniture design.
When she doesn't design she buys too many books, sits on her porch and tries to do nothing.
