Marie-Therese Wisniowski

Introduction [1]
Seetal Solanki is a London-based multidisciplinary design studio, delivering design, art and creative direction within the realms of fashion, wearable technology, sustaintability, architecture, installations, materials, automotive, interiors, trend forecasting, research, strategy, brand identity, publications for print and online, and more.

Seetal has spent the past decade building on her style and unique approach to creative briefs and projects. Through her time of running her own studio she has gained insight into working in a wide range of disciplines. She has the same approach when it comes to the creative process, and none of her work has the same outcome, as it will lend itself to a different result depending on what outset. There is purpose to everything she creates, whether it be an artwork, a strong narrative, a visual identity or even just something great to look at.

Seetal graduated from Central Saint Martins with a MA in Design for Textile Futures. The studio collaborates with a number of industry experts, which allows it to achieve an international presence. Clients include Nike, Levi, Made & Crafted, Surface To Air, Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan, Nissan Design Europe, It's Nice That, Alvar magazine, WGSN, Havaianas, United Visual Artists, PPQ, Markus Lupfer, Hentsch Man, Rowland Mouret, Chloé, Missoni, Pucci, Alberta Ferretti and James Long.
