SO, WHO AM I?

I'm Sofia, born in the northern parts of Sweden, above the arctic circle, in a town called Gällivare.
Although I moved to Stockhom at a young age, I still consider my self as a northerner, with a family history being partly from Sapmi - Our indigenous people of Sweden, with a culture of which I am very proud.

The last 5 years I've lived part time in a village called Järvsö [ˈjÉ›rvs.ˈø] where we have a Hälsingegård -ORRABACKENS- on which we offer Recovery through Arts, Crafts, Meditation and Physical training.
And the other part I live in Stockholm on a boat with teenage kids and sometimes with our dog Harvey.

I get inspired by nature and absolutely love the mountains and is a keen skiier, both down hill and xc skiing.
 
Not only does outdoor life inspire me, 
to walk in the forest or hike on the mountain or feel the wild sea helps, me focus on what I love most.
Creating.
Its basically my haven.


But I also love travelling and exploring cities, and feel the vibrance of life with people and sounds of concrete life.
And I'm blessed to be able to actually live in both worlds.
On our houseboat in the centre of Stockholm, AND on our Hälsingefarm in Järvsö, lucky me!


 

AND STUDIO SOBISKO?
= IS SHORT FOR SOFIA BIRIBAKKEN SKOLD, AND...

..STUDIO SOBISKO is my design studio situated on our Hälsinge farm, Orrabackens, where I work with many different types of design assignments, and also the place where I create products that have a decorative and yet clean expression. My mission is to explore and create design and details for homes and public spaces, and to develop my own expression in whatever shape or form I find along the way.
Basically a free path to creation.


 

PRESENT

So, I'm finally setting upp my studio, well it´s been active for 20 years but under a different name and mainly towards interior design assignments. But now I've decided to work more with my own projects, which right now means CERAMICS!
However, I still look forward to collaborate with other humans, so give me a shout if you feel like working together, or side by side :)
