A collection inspired by the aesthetic of Scandinavian interiors and the concept of ‘Hygge’, discovered whilst studying for a year in Denmark. Hygge has many meanings that revolve around establishing a homely, cosy and comforting atmosphere. Inspired by this the project began by looking at a variety of patterns and textures in various compositions. Glass and shiny surfaces, plants, rocks and foods styled together have been combined to evoke various moods. This has inspired the shapes and colours throughout the collection, where print, weave and ceramic techniques are combined to create a variety of delicate and rustic textural surfaces that create a mood of calm and charm.
Inspired by the softness and delicacy of reeds and flowing lines of marble and rocks, JORD translating to earth is a collection exploring gentle neutrals and deeper tonal hues. Bold highlights of gold make a statement within the collection through geometric shapes that contrast to soft, layered tassles. Cut dappled pattern is found amongst rustic surfaces, and beaded details add a shine between the subtle layers.
