Wild Parrots & Co

is the name of the studio and highlights the importance to consider the wild, the untouched nature in all our projects and endeavours on this planet. Parrots are highly intelligent beings that have an amazing sense of humour, they are social creatures and experience emotions similar to humans. They are creative and colourful, loud and full of life. Parrots are also considered as being messengers of good fortune. The &Co is for all our associated makers and designers who share the same value and care when creating products.

Barbara Elisabeth Treiber MSc, MFA

founder and director of Wild Parrots & Co, is an Australian and Austrian artist and designer who completed her Fine Art studies as Master of Fine Art at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia and her Design studies as Master in Strategic Product Designer at IHU Thessaloniki, Greece.

Barbara is an artist and creative product designer whose designs are not just about creating beautiful objects; they are about enriching experiences. Her creations are often designed with the intent of offering users multiple ways to interact with them, like having a dual purpose and transforming seamlessly between different uses. Driven by a deep connection to nature and an appreciation for cultural diversity, Barbara’s work reflects the beauty of the natural world and the richness of global traditions. She believes in the power of design to unite people, bridging different cultures and perspectives through objects that speak a universal language of form and function. Her designs are not only aesthetic expressions but also a means of fostering connection, joy and shared experiences.
