Egle Mieliauskiene Credenzas

Egle Mieliauskiene is a Lithuanian furniture designer renowned for her striking creations, which are elegant and reliably functional. Her keen eye for detail and passion for form have made her one of the most innovative and successful designers to emerge from Lithuania in recent years.

Born in Vilnius in 1984, Mieliauskiene developed an early fascination with art. She received a master’s degree in visual arts from the Vilnius Academy of Arts, gaining a solid foundation in aesthetics and design principles. After working as an interior decorator collaborating with several high-end manufacturers on bespoke pieces, she launched Egli Design in 2010 in an effort to craft near-perfect furniture.

Mieliauskiene's groundbreaking furnishings are variously minimalist, figurative, fantastical, Neo Deco and classical. She favors natural materials, such as wood and leather, and designs her pieces with the human form in mind, prioritizing comfort and usability. Her work often incorporates unexpected elements, such as geometric shapes, anatomical appendages and unusual angles, which add a playful touch to her creations.

Each Egil Design piece is hand-made as a part of a limited series. Typically produced in editions totaling under eight, her small collections are prized for their inventive design and collected for their rarity. 

Mieliauskiene's creations have been exhibited at galleries, trade shows and design fairs worldwide. In addition to her work as a designer, Mieliauskiene is an accomplished artist, with an oeuvre that includes photography, painting, engraving, illustration and sculpture. Despite her success, Mieliauskiene remains committed to exploring new forms and materials and pushing the boundaries of design.
