He has a degree in Industrial Design & Product Development from the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia, in addition to a Master’s in Furniture Design from the ELISAVA school of Design in Barcelona.

Quique describes himself as a half engineer & half artist, a person that dives deeply into the properties of each material before approaching a project in order to understand the opportunities and limits. He always aims to bring with solutions that satisfies both functionality and aesthetics. He is a strong follower of the meaning behind the quotes from The Eames “The details are not the details, they make the design” and Coco Chanel “Simplicity is the key note of all true elegance”.

Inbal’s designs demonstrate a passion for innovative design and an awareness of the factor that affect design for mass production. “As a designer, I have always been interested in developing innovative ideas and concepts in order to deliver functional products that look great. My real drive is to create affordable and accessible furniture that enhances the aesthetics of any outdoor space and it is a thrill to know that people all over the world are using one of my designs in their everyday life. In many ways, this continuous search for innovation is mirrored by LifestyleGarden®, as it is part of the DNA of the brand to develop new materials, products and technology to create sustainably-produced high-quality pieces for everyone”.

Rune, very tellingly, says about his vocation that ‘Design is not my job it is my passion!’

He has worked with outdoor furniture design most of his professional life; having been employed by some of the biggest companies in the industry as well as doing freelance work and consultancy.

Rune’s background as a fully educated furniture designer includes 5 years of education; primarily as a combination of education as a cabinet designer and production engineer. This has given him a strong background  in understanding and developing products that fit the industry on various parameters – from aesthetics to comfort and structural integrity.

What makes Rune unique as a designer is that he is fuelled not only by the desire to deliver great product design and optimisations, but also his knowledge of the commercial side. As Rune puts it: ‘For me a good design is only a good design once it is sold to the end consumer with great happiness and in big volumes’.

He names his biggest inspiration for design and business as Mr. Lars Larsen (founder of the Lars Larsen Group).
