Harry van Ierssel was born in 1966 in Breda, the Netherlands. He studied at both the Eindhoven Design Academy and the Domus Academy in Milan. In 1998 he and his wife Camila launched their own design studio "harry&camila." The experimental use of materials and shapes is a hallmark of their work, which has featured regularly in exhibitions across Europe, the U.S.A. and Japan since 1999. Harry and Camila live with their children in Barcelona.
