Circus Floor Lamp Designed by Corinna Warm for Warm Black/Bronze

While luxury furniture designer Corinna Warm has lived in Berlin, Milan, London and Los Angeles, she has garnered herself a place in the center of the design world regardless of her physical address. Her commitment to excellence is exemplified in her designs for pendant lights, floor lamps, side tables and more — she works with natural materials and sleek, understated forms to create pieces that offer comfort and elegance in any living space.

Warm moved from her home in Berlin, Germany, to attend the prestigious Central Saint Martins School of Art and Design in London, UK, initially intending to study graphic design before switching to product design after having visited the campus’s workshop facilities. After graduation, she moved to Milan, Italy. Warm worked for well-known designers such as Shin and Tomoko Azumi, Isao Hosoe and Tom Dixon, among others. Warm returned to London to accept a position working for David Linley, a British furniture designer widely known for his focus on craft. This would be a pivotal moment in her career — with Linley, the nephew of Queen Elizabeth II and founder of the royal cabinetmaker workshop Linley in 1985, Warm encountered the principles of cabinetmaking and the fundamentals of well-made, durable furnishings. She developed new skills and a clear mindset in her approach to design. 

At the 2007 London Design Festival, Warm successfully launched Studio Warm, initially a furniture brand recognized for its merging of contemporary and classical elements. Today it is a multi-disciplinary design consultancy.

In 2008, Warm opened her London studio, where she offers her luxury furniture designs, expertly crafted using traditional techniques. Riding the wave of her massive success in Europe, Warm expanded her studio to Los Angeles, California. She splits her time between London and L.A. 

Warm finds inspiration for her bespoke work where her clients see it. It could be the natural world, fashion, film or even music. She avoids social media trends and spends her time offline and hands-on. Choosing to work directly with her makers and craftspeople, Warm prefers an immersed approach to her work. She sees design as more than style and function — furniture is the heart of every home and centers around creating memories, hence the quality of her work must be superior, as she intends to deliver something that can be part of a legacy.
