Pia Sophie Steinhardt

Hi I am Pia !

I am a Berlin based interior designer with a passion in reusing existing space by creating new places for people to play, engage and interact. I am hoping to positively influence different forms of interaction or experiences, recontextualising (new) materials into historical spaces and with that contribute to a playful, conscious and prosperous environment.

In general I am a rather physical designer that sits on the conceptual side between an artist and an engineer. Getting my hands dirty where ever I can, my work is mainly concerned with temporary spaces that aim to speak to multiple sensual perceptions forming one entity of body, mind and soulful experience. Because I love people and all expressive arts of different types of media, I have found myself working for club designers in London and Berlin, been supervising the construction of festivals such as the re:publica, the Bar Convent Berlin and worked as a scenographer on film sets.

I am a direct, honest, dedicated, music loving, painting, singing, open, adventure seeking, caring, passionate, critical, bold, fearless, practical, rational, thoughtful, strategic, intuitive designer and a Burberry design scholarship recipient.

I will be eternally grateful for being offered the opportunity to engage within this beautifully inspiring and enriching environment of the RCA. Thank you !

As a creator all of my doings within the built environment are heavily influenced by my core principals to take responsibility for the well-being of future generations, all beings and the planet. During the research phase of my thesis design project, I have developed a manifesto of creation - a guide for me to help consider all layers in my design process beginning with the inner center of values.

I see creatives as visualisers of the future. Vision creators who have the skills and tools to animate imagination. An imagery that then takes off and could evolve in a possible reality. Let's help create positive realities for our future generations together.
