Life Cora Sheibani, born Cora Bischofberger, is the daughter and third child of Bruno and Christina Bischofberger. Her father is the reknown Zurich based art dealer and gallerist, who has been one of the major figures in the international art world for several decades. Her mother, Christina is also closely involved with the activities of the Galerie Bischofberger and the Bischofberger collection. She graduated from Aiglon Colleger, Vaude, in 1998 and continued her education at NYU, where she graduated with a degree in Art History in 2001. She is currently living in london with her husband Kaveh Sheibani, and has two children Aryana and Nouri.

Artists and artworks have been a prominent part of Sheibani's life since she was a small child. She recalls playing games with her father when she was a child where she had to guess the period, origin and style of various furniture pieces in catalogues of decorative art. At the age of 4, she made a collaboration painting with Jean Michel Basquiat (REFERENCE). Many other artists from painters like Andy Warhol to designer/architects to Ettore Sottsass were a constant presence in her parents' household and no doubt her work initially started with strong influences from that exposure, notably from Sottsass, before finding her own individual voice.

Work After graduating from NYU and having taken a course in the making of jewellery, where she both designed and made her first piece of jewellery, Sheibani decided to study for one year at the Gemological Institute of America in London where she obtained a degree in ______ before starting her own label, Cora Sheibani, and had her first show in London in 2002. Since then, she has shown in London, New York, Paris and Zurich and has published two books, Valence, which has an introduction by Ettore Sottsass, and Copper Moulds, which is part a catalogue of her work influenced by copper moulds and food, and part a cook book with some favourite recipes as cooking is one of her passions. Her work has been featured in numerous publications from Vogue to Vanity Fair (REF) among others. Most recently her pieces were featured in the book _______ by __________.
