Monica Förster

Monica Förster (1966-) is a well-known and internationally appreciated Swedish designer. Born in the far north of her country, near the Arctic Circle, she has an approach to design characterized by versatility and curiosity, elements that make each of her projects unique and original. You begin to get noticed on the design scene in the early 2000s thanks to your collaborations both with Swedish brands such as Offecctt and Swedese and with important Italian brands such as Poltrona Frau and Tacchini. You then assume the artistic direction of Zanat, a peculiar Bosnian brand that sets itself the goal of making the world know the flourishing local cabinet-making tradition, recognized and protected by UNESCO, and of combining it with the languages of modern design. Parallel to this adventure, however, you continue to work with major brands from all over the world such as, among others, De Padova, Zanotta, Artifort, Fogia, Tecno, Wittmann and Georg Jensen.
