About

Anna Hörling

MFA, industrial designer

Eyewear, interior, and light design, plus creative director/partner of the Little Pink & Brokiga brand. Always striving to find new ways to combine technological opportunities. Independent of the brand, I always aim for the highest quality in each object. My goal is to achieve timelessness, innovation, more environmental friendly solutions, and increased market value.

Everything worth doing deserves to be done with care.
