Barbora Žilinskaitė
Designer
Born in 1996 in Kaunas, Lithuania, Barbora Žilinskaitė is a designer living and working in Brussels, Belgium. Seeking to distance herself from boundaried definitions of creative practices, Žilinskaitė's output approaches design through a sculptural lens with a focus on material experimentation. Interested in exploring the interaction between human and object, through her practice Žilinskaitė explores what emotions may be provoked, how habits can be changed or new routines formed through this relationship. Žilinskaitė's work is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Žilinskaitė graduated from Vilnius Academy of Arts in Lithuania with a B.A. degree in product and spatial design. She currently works and lives in Brussels, Belgium.
Exhibited at Design Miami/ 2022 Barbora’s first collection, called Roommates, is bizarre in the most delightful and sophisticated of ways, featuring a foot-shaped table, hand-shaped magazine rack, and face-shaped table inspired in part by the paintings of Paul Klee and Joan Miró. “Human-like objects become more significant with long-term use,” she explains. “It creates this weird but friendly atmosphere where a person can look at their furniture as if it were a friend or a pet.” Materials: Wood dust, ply, pigment, varnish, glue
