Dace Sūna is a Latvian designer-maker of space and light.

Her background in spatial design, love for nature, and fascination with the elemental nature of this planet, such as GAS, FIRE, WATER, EARTH, and PLASMA, are the driving forces behind her creations.

Dace just completed her MA in Contextual Design at the Design Academy of Eindhoven, where she was part of the class of 2023.
She also holds a BFA in Interior Design, which she earned in 2015 from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York.  

While residing in Los Angeles, she learned the art of neon making and started working with different materials such as plaster, wood, and clay.
In the Netherlands, metal and glass have been interwoven in her more conceptual SPACE & LIGHT installations.
