ANDREAS<br />
BERGSAKER<br />
NORWAY<br />
Copenhagen based Norwegian<br />
Andreas Ferdinand Riise<br />
Bergsaker has been a popular<br />
name to watch on the highly<br />
competitive Scandinavian<br />
design scene, so it’s little<br />
surprise that he’s been snapped<br />
up by the popular design<br />
brand HAY to work in-house<br />
for the time being. With a<br />
clear talent for making the<br />
mundane and the everyday<br />
more beautiful, he is a<br />
master not just of product<br />
longevity in the physical sense,<br />
but also imbuing them with<br />
lasting emotional value.<br />
Championing traditional<br />
craftsmanship and tactile<br />
qualities, pieces such as his<br />
Singularity vase pictured<br />
here are in high demand<br />
as things you’ll want to have<br />
and to hold forever.<br />
MARCIN RUSAK<br />
POLAND<br />
Marcin Rusak takes his inspiration from<br />
flowers, but not in a way you’ve ever seen<br />
before. As the son and grandson<br />
of flower growers in Warsaw, Poland,<br />
he has long been fascinated by the<br />
decorative possibilities of the natural world,<br />
but after some serious investigation<br />
into the flower industry he saw potential<br />
not in traditional petal motifs but<br />
in reusing botanical waste. Creating ethereal<br />
(and highly collectable) furniture,<br />
lighting and surfaces that use flowers set<br />
into specially developed resin, Rusak<br />
encourages us to explore our surroundings,<br />
question our consumption,<br />
and look at the details of our lives in<br />
a different light. Rusak’s Flora Perma<br />
collection as pictured here sees<br />
flowers ‘frozen’ into playful patterns,<br />
then machined to create<br />
a new, fossilised-marble effect.<br />
