TAKT


The Soft Chair frame designed by Danish design company 'TAKT'.  The soft chair is made of FSC- certified solid ash, a light wood with beautiful texture and pattern that adds a distinctive expression. The natural variation between dark and light wood veins, reflect seasonal changes when the tree was growing.

"Our chairs consider a more holistic environmental impact and are designed for a longer lifetime with easily replacable wearable parts. At the end of its life-cycle, the chair can be taken apart in its key materials allowing for easy, clean and effective recycling." TAKT

Thomas Dambo




Thomas Dambo is incredibly inventive and creative and uses recycled timbers to create sculptures that are very charismatic and interactive as seating or playscapes. Thomas is from Odense, Denmark and originally trained as a carpenter but found the work to repetitive and not creative enough. In 2005 he started his studies at Kolding School of Design and now has a studio in Copenhagen.
"I truly love working with scrap wood. There’s so much of it everywhere so I can pretty much build what ever I can imagine. I hope my sculptures will inspire others to recycle." Thomas Dambo

Kai Frøsig Pedersen



"I think it is important with a child's spoon made from natural materials as wood, bone or horn.A spoon is the first tool you learn to master. It should be warm, friendly, soft and functional. You let the wood absorb your mood and intentions in the process of making the spoon, and I believe that the wood can convey this to the user." Kai Frøsig Pedersen
Danish spoon maker Kai Frøsig Pedersen has a poetry to his words and craft that sings with love love of nature, love of the materials he is using, love of creativity and love of his family.

"The design of this chair is morphing textile and sticks by using their contrasting characteristics in the meeting between them. Using the stick as needle sewing through the fabric, the stiffness of the stick and the formability of the textile is emphasized, while fixing the textile to the chair. The textile makes a soft and flexible backrest and gets a curved structure that provides the chair with a tactile quality. The shape of the construction is inspired by danish classics such as the showy chieftain chair and the modesty of the FDB collection. It’s a simple chair telling a poetic story about the meeting between the two materials. The textile part of the chair is removable, so it can be washed or changed – so don’t worry about spilling your hot chocolate or getting a new favorite color."

Hans-Henning Pedersen




Hans-Henning Pendersen's wonderful turned forms made from green wood of freshly felled trees.
“What interests me is first and foremost the shape of the bowl, then the wood grain. In some bowls, it can be great when these two aspects harmonise, but in others, the wood grain can be surprising or provocative,” Hans-Henning Pedersen

Ben Clement and Sebastian de la Cour


Splinters , dust and dirt 'City of the (Re)Orientated' is an incredibly detailed fracture of urban cityscape created by Ben Clement and Sebastian de la Cour.

'The 'map' has long been useless in a city whose streets are continually reshaped by their walkers, . . . In this anthill of possibilities only the most elastic orientation software can direct the city's inhabitant through its myriad of shifting tangled streets.'

Ben and Sebastian have caught the tangle of human construction, its fragility and wonder. (thanks)
