Emma Olbers is a Swedish designer and sustainability strategist working across furniture, product, and interior design from her studio in Stockholm's Södermalm neighborhood.

The same research-based approach applies to every project, whether a single chair or a full interior — materials and circularity are the starting point, not an added feature. "Form follows planetary boundaries".

She trained at Beckmans School of Design, graduating in 1999.

Her interior for the Old Library at Stockholm's Nationalmuseum earned her the Interior Design of the Year award at AD Magazine Germany's 2019 Design Summit, and the Biblioteket rug — now part of Asplund's collection — began as her first sketches for that room.
