Meike Harde is a multidisciplinary designer based in Cologne. Since founding Studio Meike Harde in 2013, she has become an increasingly prominent voice in contemporary design, collaborating with leading international furniture and lighting brands.

After graduating in 2011 with a degree in Product Design from the University of Art and Design Saarbrücken (HBKsaar), she began her professional journey with several talent awards, notable exhibitions f.e. with Li Edelkoort and in London at the studio of Benjamin Hubert. There, she developed a vision of design grounded in material exploration and commercial applicability — a dual focus that continues to shape her work today. Common materials are reinterpreted in unexpected ways, resulting in furniture, upholstery, and lighting pieces defined by precision and sensitivity.

Her approach is both intuitive and meticulous, guided by a deep technical understanding. Her creations stand out for their refined aesthetic, carefully engineered structure, and an innate ability to shape immersive, atmospheric spaces. Through this balance, she redefines familiar typologies and proposes lasting, emotionally resonant objects.

Textiles and lighting hold a central place in her practice. Her work reveals a keen sensitivity to atmosphere and experience, where design becomes a language beyond form. Studio Meike Harde continues to develop collections that reinterpret the everyday through clarity, delicacy, and a contemporary understanding of materiality.
