Artic Collection By Studio Jens Praet
Studio Jens Praet and studio Vibeke Skar are teaming up designing two brand new collections, labeled under one precise theme: Industrial Impact.
As a reflection on the industrial revolution’s major after-effect, the global warming, provoking glacier icemelting, which is threatening the balance in the world, the studio-duo is trying to reach the people’s attention by creating everyday objects with a subtle environmental message.
The end result is a table collection inspired by the Arctic with its melting iceglaciers and eroded detailes. Along with this collection, the designers are presenting a glass collection consisting of a serie of lamps representing the industrial revolution, also wanting to be a contemporary reaction to the negative results of this era.
