Danish Designers in Residence
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH DANISH ART FOUNDATION
The Designers-in-Residence program welcomes exceptional designers to live and work in Los Angeles. Situated in the quiet residence of the Fitzpatrick-Leland House, the residency program is particularly important in this respect because it presents young designers with the opportunity to develop new projects linked not only to Schindler’s experimental work but also to the histories and context of Los Angeles. Recipients of awards are encouraged to participate in the activities of the Schindler House, attend programs and events, and engage with larger art and design communities of Los Angeles.

Chris L. Halstrøm
Chris Liljenberg Halstrøm (born 1977, Denmark) established her studio in 2007 after graduating from The Royal Danish Academy in Copenhagen with prior studies in Stockholm, Sweden and Berlin, Germany. In 2017 Halstrøm received the Three Year Work grant from The Danish Arts Foundation / Statens Kunstfond. Halstrøm is interested in working with familiarity, openness and anonymity as topics in order to create new expressions and purposes for objects. She applies this interest whether working with companies such as Skagerak and Design Within Reach, clients for interior projects, or with objects for exhibitions. In addition to running her own studio, Halstrøm is part of the duo INCLUDED MIDDLE together with textile designer Margrethe Odgaard.
