TAF ARCHITECTS ON THE DESIGN "CLOSELY SEPARATED - Vase - by Michael Geertsen
MICHAEL GEERTSEN ON THE DESIGN "Abstract bowls, plates and cups are merged in an intuitive way. Reminding us of the beauty in disharmony and how old things can lead to new, if we change our perspective. The object works on its own, but is given a function if flowers are added. HARRI KOSKINEN ON THE DESIGN "The basic idea was to create a lamp series with space and atmosphere. I put my trust in the natural material of glass, in its beauty and its changing reflections.

JULIEN DE SMEDT ON THE DESIGN “The Crushed Bowls show big-scale architecture applied on small scale objects. The bowls are composed of equilateral triangles and principles we use for big-scale computer modeling.COSY IN GREY - Lamp - by Harri Koskinen

CRUSHED BOWLS - Bowl - by Julien de Smedt
MATTIAS STÅHLBOM ON THE DESIGN "The simplicity of the naked bulb is hard to compete with. It stands for something that feels romantic and contemporary at the same time.
ILKKA SUPPANEN ON THE DESIGN "I wanted to create something different from the iconic coffee mug with handle found in office cubicles around the world. Modern people don't just have coffee; They have lattés, cappuccino, espresso, tea or Chai.
JAKOB WAGNER ON THE DESIGN "With the shape of the jug I wanted to tell a straightforward story about its functional anatomy: A large hole to fill the jug, a small hole to pour, a low centre of gravity, and a middle area to get a firm grip.
MATTI KLENELL ON THE DESIGN "One of the strongest characteristics of glass is its transparency. Another is its seductive beauty. With this as a starting point I set out to create a vase which would be beautiful with or without flowers.
NORWAY SAYS ON THE DESIGN "Boo is like the skin, or a balloon surrounding the water with openings that tell the simple story of fluid motion in and out of the glass.
FORM US WITH LOVE ON THE DESIGN "We came up with the idea for Match when trying to light a tealight candle, constantly burning our fingers.
NORWAY SAYS ON THE DESIGN "Mhy has an elegant appearance and a strong personality. The playful shape of Mhy draws inspiration from illustrations and characters from our childhood's literature.
PIL BREDAHL ON THE DESIGN "The storage system is made for the modern nomad and inspired by the fact that we move more often in our lives than ever before. It can be separated and assembled very easily. It has a clear sculptural value and you can put it in the formations you like best.
PLUGGED- Pendant Lamp - by Broberg & Ridderstråle
NORWAY SAYS ON THE DESIGN "The traditional parts of salt and pepper mills are split into a stack of different sized elements. The composition reflects how you grip and use the mill. The biggest element is of course the one you turn to grind your salt and pepper.
JENS FAGER ON THE DESIGN "RAW is a product family based on rough and intuitive interpretations of iconic everyday objects. Every piece is unique because they are all made of a piece of wood carved by hand with a band saw machine.

MIKA TOLVANEN ON THE DESIGN "I wanted the basket to have an non-obtrusive nature. It’s a great little basket for storing magazines or any other bits and pieces.
NORWAY SAYS ON THE DESIGN "Same Same But Different is a family of three. Each glass resembles the other and contains the same volume - but at the same time they have their own personalities.
JDS ARCHITECTS ON THE DESIGN "How to be specific and generic altogether? Shelving systems have a tendency to achieve one concern but never both.

OLE JENSEN ON THE DESIGN "A small hand-held and sculptural plateau with three smalldents. One for the egg, one for the shells and one for salt - or whatever you might imagine! For breakfast - though maybe not everyday - for brunch and definitely for sunday mornings.
TVEIT&TORNØE ON THE DESIGN "This characterful little family of hooks is a friendly addition to any wall. The Dots are proud of their round edges and will treat your clothes with the greatest care. They will also let you arrange them on your wall in the pattern you like.
LOUISE CAMPBELL ON THE DESIGN "A candlestick that is everything but streamlined. As the saying goes: the more elements you join together, the merrier the result. Can be constructed in infinite ways. The design is a blend of the formal and the informal.
OLE JENSEN ON THE DESIGN "This bowl seeks to give fruit and vegetables the respect and environment they deserve, as well as adding to their natural beauty. The bowl has three legs that also work as storage spaces — maybe one for fruit, one for vegetables and one for fresh spices. Divided but still united.
CECILIE MANZ ON THE DESIGN "A basket for the daily bread. Wicker has clear references to Scandinavian basket technique; wide, thin straps weaved in two directions - only here performed in a completely different material and method, - a highly durable composite moulded into its shape.
TAF ARCHITECTS ON THE DESIGN "The all-wood lamp is a lo-tech counterweight to the usually very modern and technical desk lamps.
