My design
Bello is a round coffee table where the plates are sandblasted so that their surface appears present and tactile. The table is designed with adjustable tabletops so the surface can appear raw and rustic or smooth and polished, depending on mood and occasion.
The idea of the design is to reflect the perspectives that are part of the ‘perfection culture’ where perfect has become the new normal and where we place greater and more extreme demands and expectations on ourselves.
My inspiration
My inspiration comes from nature and man; the natural processes and nature's beautiful and honest materials as well as the exploration of the different expressions of the material.
I am inspired by the many outer and inner layers of man, their pursuit of perfection and the importance of being in balance. An attempt to speak out the indispensability of being satisfied with oneself.
I have always been interested in craftsmanship and the possibilities that the materials provide. For me, furniture design is a world of inspiration, tradition and a chance to create security and coziness. I believe that the key to feel at home is our surroundings. Anne Lysholt
