Campbell’s interest in design is focused on furniture and lighting, but she is also involved in product and interior design projects. Some of the companies she has worked with include: Louis Poulsen, Zanotta, HAY, Royal Copenhagen, Holmegaard, Stelton, Muuto, Interstop, and the Danish Ministry of Culture.[citation needed]
She is best known for the Prince Chair that she designed as her entry for a 2002 competition hosted by the Association of Danish Furniture Industries.[2] The competition invited designers to create a chair for Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark. Although Campbell did not win the competition, the chair won several awards and HAY picked it up to manufacture. It is now a part of the Museum of Modern Art's collection.[3] The chair itself resembles an "unfolded paper cutout" and was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's archival museum paper cutouts.[4][5]
She is also known for the Collage pendant lamp designed for Louis Poulsen, the "More the Merrier" candlestick created for Muuto,[6][third-party source needed] and the "Campbell Pendant" (2005) for Louis Poulsen, which won the iF Product Design Award in gold.[7]
