EXHIBITED AT STOCKHOLM FURNITURE FAIR 2024 GROUP SHOW ”RISE AND SHINE” CURATED BY ARRANGING THINGS
SOLD
Exhibition Description:
With “Rise And Shine” we invited 19 of our favorite designers to explore the power of the humble pedestal. Often just the means to an end, a servant to others, here we chose to lift the piece which usually lifts other pieces. So, yes, we put the pedestal on a pedestal, if you will.
– Arranging Things
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.
