The History of Filippa K
Filippa K was founded in 1993 by Filippa Knutsson. Her goal was to provide well-constructed classic pieces that would last long and look good, regardless of trends which pioneered the concept of Scandinavian minimalism.
She was then joined by Liisa Kessler, who took the position of Creative Director after studying dressmaking and working for renowned Parisian couture houses. The approach of uniting Scandinavian simplicity with continental European sophistication gives Filippa K its unique perspective and explains the perfect mix of minimalism and elegance in their designs.
