I AM...
I am Jenna Gillinger.
I DO...
I do alot of things…I am an artist, interior architect & furniture designer with a background as an actor & choreographer.
CHILDHOOD TO ME IS..
The memory of my childhood is the carefree experience of simply being present. Sitting undisturbed in my own thoughts and reflections for what felt like forever. But also ice cream, laughter, exploring, and creating new imaginary worlds with friends. For me now, as a mother, childhood is something I truly try to protect for my own children. I feel that the adult world is intruding earlier and earlier into children’s lives. I try to let my children be children and experience childhood for as long as possible.
IMAGINATION TO ME IS...
A way of coping with life. I am a thinker and a dreamer, and imagination has always played a big role in my life. As an artist and creator working in both the performing arts and the design industry, imagination is an essential driving force—one I am grateful to stay so closely connected to..
MY FAVOURITE OBJECT IS...
As a designer, I am deeply interested in furniture—how it shapes, influences, and supports us as users. Especially seating furniture. But if you look at my screen time statistics, my mobile phone would probably (and unfortunately) claim the title of my favorite object…
MY FAVOURITE COLOUR IS...
I love all kinds of colors and shades, and I find it incredibly exciting to explore different color combinations—as well as how different colors can influence us and the object itself.
