Nina Mršnik studied industrial design at the Università Iuav di Venezia in Venice. She also studied visual communication and art in Aveiro Portugal, and completed her MA in product design at the Royal College of Art in London. Her projects include Toasted furniture, a design system for furniture made from recycled HDPE plastic, where the material is melted and pressed into sheets used to produce furniture and objects. She is a co-founder of Kobeiagi Kilims, a former project working with traditional Bosnian kilim weaving and contemporary pattern design. In parallel, she works with portrait making, a practice that began during a residency in Vienna, when there was time and resources to focus on personal work.
