Emanuele Stamuli Panelist
Founder & CEO
Stamuli
Stamuli is a design studio made of a collective of creative and technical people. We love rationalism and we always try to conceptualize decorations in our projects. Color plays often an important role in our design. We have a construction-oriented mindset and we like to project-manage what we design. Our expertise focus on materiality with an eye on sustainability and how to use materials of the future.
Lisa Bergstrand Panelist
Founder
A NEW SWEDEN
A NEW SWEDEN creates quality garments made in Sweden from Swedish wool and was founded by Lisa Bergstrand and Anthony Lui in 2019.
Lisa has worked more then 15 years in the fashion industry, both for luxury companies (YSL, Celine, Givenchy) and small start ups. Lisa started A NEW SWEDEN to prove that is was possible to make clothing in a truly sustainable way, with natural material found locally and a production as locally as possible. A NEW SWEDEN buys the wool directly from the sheep farmers and control all steps in the manufacturing process to ensure it is made as locally as possible. Our production chain is less then 1/5 of the avarage wool garment. A NEW SWEDEN makes timeless garments that leave no trace.
Lisa also works as a sustainability consultant in fashion and textiles (Bergstrand Consultancy).
