Frederike Top has her own studio in productdesign which is based in Amsterdam. She studied Product Design at the University of the Arts Utrecht and graduated in February 2007. Her designs consist mainly of interior products, but she also designs for the public space. Except designing under her own name, Frederike works for various interior labels. A recurring theme in her work is light. Seized by the elusive nature of light she plays endlessly with the experience of it. From the source of light, shadow, lightcolour and -strenght she tries to create a site-specific atmosphere in the spaces she designs for. Often through small interventions which have a major impact.
