Interior Project Description:
The project draws inspiration from local artists, incorporating their craftsmanship as a guiding tool in the design process. The proposal aims to create an interior that preserves the essence of the existing – the textures, marks, and history embedded in the space.
The resulting design consists of structural frameworks, a skeletal system that safeguards and highlights the narrative of the space’s past. Each element is carefully constructed to maintain a balance between honoring the historical layers and introducing a sense of continuity. The design creates an atmosphere where the history of a process is both protected and reimagined, allowing the past and present to coexist seamlessly.
THE SWEDISH GREEN SERIES (2024)
A FURNITURE SERIES THAT EXPLORES THE POTENTIAL OF ARTISTIC AND FUNCTIONAL DESIGN WITH THE GOAL OF REINVIGORATE USED MATERIALS AND CHALLENGE THE PRINCIPLES OF THE FUNCTIONALISM WITH NEW EXPRESSIONS. IN AN ATTEMPT TO BOTH DEVELOP AND PRESERVE HISTORICAL HERITAGE. CENTRAL TO THIS EXPLORATION IS THE USE OF SWEDISH GREEN MARBLE, A MATERIAL DEEPLY CONNECTED TO THE FUNCTIONALISM. BY COMBINING THE MARBLE WITH OAK AND ALUMINIUM, SHAPED IN INDUSTRIAL STANDARD DIMENSIONS, THE PROJECT SEEKS TO CREATE A INTERPLAY BETWEEN TRADITION AND MODERNITY.
