Karen Henriksen MA (RCA) is a milliner, artist and designer-maker.
Her hat designs aim to strike a balance between elegance, innovation and practicality, whilst her sculptural lightshades and wall pieces draw on her millinery and fashion background.
Her work incorporates story-telling, and a sense of ‘taking a line for a walk’ - whether through the intricate and asymmetric pattern-cutting of a hat, the undulating curves of a lightshade, or the not-quite-repetition and spiralling abstraction in her new wall pieces.
