Elin Basander André

designer and founder of Formsson, a creative design agency where design, craftsmanship, and science take center stage. With thirty years of experience and education in Denmark, France, and Sweden, I have created award-winning works appreciated in homes, schools, and workplaces across Europe.

My passion as a designer is to design with impact. At Formsson, I combine artistic skill with the development of sustainable materials, believing that the future of design is local, small-scale, and built on recycled materials.
