Designed by Maria Berntsen

"To me, working with design is a feeling. At the start of a new project, I first and foremost look for a nerve, a spirit. A beginning. It is like entering a special room, where the heart is able to speak. A place, where anything is possible, where I can look at everything with free energy, and without judgement or preconceived notions. I visualise how the product will be used, and what charisma it will have in a room – and based upon this mood, I begin to think about form and function. The process continues in my workshop, and it is when I am there, that I really become immersed in the design process. Still very intuitively, and mostly ruled by my hands and the possibilities offered to me by the material, a playful search combined with experience, helps the product begin to take shape. A thought becomes reality.To me, success is when my design brings daily joy to many.”
