Eve Fineman: Bio

Eve Fineman received her B.A. Cum Laude in Architecture from Washington University in St. Louis. After interning at the Smithsonian’s office of Exhibit Design and Production, she shifted her focus to interior environments and furniture design. She moved to Chicago in 1996 to pursue an M.F.A. in Interior Architecture from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago on a full merit scholarship. There she explored the relationships between furniture, sound and the body through architectural installations and experimental furniture.

Since graduating, Eve has worked for a variety of architecture firms, including Vertu, Inc. and Ross Barney Jankowski. In 2003 she co-founded the architecture firm Spacelab, Inc., where she continued to incorporate custom furniture into most of her design projects. Currently, Eve is an Associate Professor of Design at the Illinois Institute of Art – Chicago, where she has been teaching full-time since 2002. Since being awarded a sabbatical in 2008, she has been designing and prototyping a sustainable line of semi-custom furniture, called Interstice.
