At 40, Naja Utzon Popov has reached complete maturity in her art. The daughter of artist and designer Lin Utzon, and Russian Architect Alex Popov, she started in London a career of rug designer. Using her International upbringing, in Australia (where her grandfather designed the Sidney Opera), in Denmark and in Majorca, she is constantly inspired by water and nature. And not unlike her mother, she has talent in many medias.
Clay or stone sculptures, glass bowls, woolen rugs woven in India or recycled plastic rugs, she transforms a room or a shop (recently the Saks department store in Puerto Rico) into a world of fluidity and elegance. Nothing is show off about her style, a rigorous Northern simplicity which is common to her whole family, is what leads her to true chic.
