Sir David Alan Chipperfield was born in London in 1953. He studied at Kingston School of Art and the Architectural Association in London. After graduation he worked in large offices such as Douglas Stephen, Richard Rogers and Norman Foster, which he had a great experience acquiring extensive knowledge, certainly serving as inspiration for his own work.
In 1984 he founded his own firm, David Chipperfield Architects and has accumulated more than 40 national and international competitions, behind them the RIBA, RFAC, AIWA Awards and RIBA Stirling Prize in 2007. He now has offices in London, Berlin, Milan and a representative in Shanghai.

"I relish the enjoyment of daily rituals, whether this is taking a bath in a beautiful bathroom, eating breakfast from a simple oak table or reading by a perfect lamp. In my designs, I try to make simple, beautiful and functional objects."
