Collection concept:

Important items

We are in times of mobility with immigrants, refugees and for work.

Knives and spoons are fundamental tools that can be seen as opposites of each other, the knives divide and the spoon gather. In material and methods that reflect both ancient times and our high-tech present. In an intuitive and impromptu way to investigate the materials opportunities. How will the future culture look like?
