David Larsson is a Senior Industrial Designer with an MFA, born in Luleå, Sweden, in 1968. Now based in Stockholm, he began his educational journey at the Art Center College of Design (ACCD) in Switzerland and later completed his studies in product design at the Umeå Institute of Design in Sweden in 1995.

 

As an independent designer, David has collaborated with numerous international companies, including Electrolux, JCDecaux, Renault,GE,Dometic,Volvo,Husqvarna, Icehotel, Telia, and more. In addition to these partnerships, he continuously nurtures his creative spirit by designing and developing his own products, architectural projects, and artistic endeavors. Since the autumn of 2020, David has also been a Senior Lecturer at Luleå University of Technology, contributing to the Master's Program in Industrial Design Engineering.

 

David's creative portfolio features limited editions of furniture, houses, bicycles, and lighting fixtures, highlighting his exceptional talent in design. His innovative work has been recognized with several prestigious international awards, including the International Design Award (IDA) for his Streetbike design. An avid cyclist, David has a deep passion for projects related to cycling, which are particularly close to his heart in product design.

 

David’s creative practice also encompasses painting, which he began exploring in the early 2000s, primarily in gouache and original acrylic works. He works at the intersection of concrete art, hard-edge painting, and modernism. Through distinct color fields and sharp geometric forms, Larsson investigates the relationship between surface, space, and balance. His process is characterized by a pursuit of purity, simplicity, and composition, allowing color and form to carry the entire expression. The result is paintings that are both direct and meditative, where the abstract acquires a tangible, physical presence.
