Matt Holleman
Spending his early years is Papua New Guinea where his parents served as missionaries, Matthew Holleman’s journey has been as creative as his work. After two years studying medicine in New Zealand, Matt dropped out to live on a boat touring the Pacific Islands. It was here he discovered a love for musical composition. After graduating from The New Zealand Music School, Matt joined an NGO in Kenya and it was almost seven years later when a yearning to explore his creative side was rekindled. Matt moved to London and was introduced to the world of sculptural lighting.
“The world of sculptural lighting was where I felt I had truly discovered my artistic fit.”
This marked the beginnings of Cameron Design House where Matt would eventually create work for Elton John and One World Trade. With so many ideas in his newfound creative outlet, Matt needed space to explore his own vision. He moved to Sweden with his partner and it was here where Matt married the simplicity of Sweden's nature with the chaos of his own wanderlust.
When Matt isn’t in his studio, he’s spending time with his children, Forest and Bonnie, or working on his classic 1945 Triumph motorcycle. He lives and works on the East Coast of Sweden with his partner Sofia and their family.
