Bio
Erin Hupp is an artist and designer whose work explores how objects shape human experience through space, light, and reflection. Working across lighting, mirror installations, and sculptural forms, she creates pieces that transform interiors into environments that invite presence, connection, and a heightened appreciation of everyday life.
Her art is rooted in a deep understanding of hospitality, developed through years of collaboration with Michelin-starred restaurants. This experience continues to inform her approach to interiors, where she considers how people move through, gather within, and emotionally respond to a space. Her evolving practice reflects a shift from object to environment, expanding her exploration of how art can inhabit and transform the spaces we live in. Her work is fundamentally about experience- whether it’s a plate that becomes part of a Michelin-starred meal, a lamp that changes the atmosphere of a room, or throwing live in front of an audience.
Hupp works closely with interior designers to create site-responsive pieces that integrate seamlessly into larger spatial narratives.
