Bio
In an era of throwaway stuff and fleeting experiences, Form & Funk’s founder Victoria Pater enthusiastically creates with balance and intention. Her values-led studio believes form follows function — and she can’t help but add a groovy twist.
As a multi-passionate designer, Victoria envisions, curates, and creates the products she wishes existed. She’s a midcentury modern enthusiast who has poured years and brainspace into thoughtfully renovating her 1959 home and studio, Atomic Haus. Her desire to honor the past, while rejiggering spaces to meet her family’s current and future needs is peak strategic Victoria!
When she's not sharing her process as an artist, woodworking instructor, cool mom and human on the internet, you can catch Victoria scouring estate sales for vintage treasures, getting involved locally, or digging in the garden!
Artist's Statement
I am a multidisciplinary artist playfully transforming ordinary materials into vibrant, sculptural works that embrace imperfection and celebrate personal growth. Rooted in curiosity and experimentation, I explore ideas of evolution, identity, and our interconnectedness. Unafraid of breaking conventions, I push boundaries to discover what’s possible, bringing imagination and wonder to light.
