Olivia Kotsifa: Outdoor workspace

About the residency

From January to March 2019 we’ll be hosting the architect Olivia Kotsifa, co-founder of StiwdioEverywhere, an art & design studio that travels around the world following the digital nomads' lifestyle.

Olivia Kotsifa will be developing a project titled Outdoor Workspace. She will design modular furniture, which will be used in the context of the international hacker and artistic camp PIFcamp. Her take on future workspaces is that they are flexible and mobile and most of all, close to a natural environment.
