Berlin based Swedish artist Katja Beckman creates sculptural tapestries through the experimental combination of weaving structures, techniques and materials. She explores the way memories and places appear when recalled in the mind. The last photos here are from a series called Walls of Berlin where she’s taken photos of old facades and interpreted them into tapestries using the Kasuri technique. As for the large tapestries:”Weaving at a big scale allowed me to combined structures of such varying forms and sizes that the results were uncontrollable in an organic way. They become sculptural as the surface of the weave buckles under its own weight. In this way it reflects the raw forms in nature, such as rock formations and moss that are shaped and changed by time.”@katjabeckman @walls.of.berlin

Swedish Industrial designer Jenny Nordberg’s “3 to 5 Seconds Mirror” is created by an old mirror making process using liquid silver. The chemical solution is poured on the glass surface, evaporates and leaves each mirror unique. “Nordberg is driven by a desire to develop strategies and alternative methods which counter the problematic aspects of mass production.” @jenny_nordberg Portrait: @petrabindel all other photos: @hostlerburrows

The design brief by @mylhta was to give a twist to the classic Little Pine Shelf that was designed in 1941 by Carl Malmsten. The result by the always creative designer Anna Kraitz is the CM+AK=SANT shelf. “Our history and knowledge from the elderly is necessary for future development in crafts and design. We have a lot to learn from them but at the same time we must dare to break the rules and traditional thoughts to move further and forward.” @anna.kraitz @stockholmdesignweek 📸Leo Bülow

Normal Object Factory is a duo consisting of ceramicist Alexandra Nilasdotter and glass artist Chien Kuang Liu. Their latest series of limited edition vessels in stoneware and glass is titled Gränssnit where the design is a connection of different objects that interact. Transparent meets opaque, ceramics meets glass. The interaction of man and machine that leads to form.

Farvash Razavi is a research based cross disciplinary artist whose background in chemistry allows her to bridge the world of material science with art and design. “The materials I work with are always bio based, wood based cellulose. Even the holograms were cellulose based in the beginning. The evolution of humans start with materiality, since we are all made up of chemical components. This has always been the core of my research. I’m driven by the thought that if materiality would have a consciousness, when does it get a personality?” Farvash has been part of the creative women’s art collective @misschiefs.se for the past year. Interview link in bio. Photo of the Hologram Veil by Cassie Abraham and last pictures are hand embossed flags with calligraphy that are available to buy from the artist.
