Maria Bruun

Atelier Collection for Reform

The Atelier Collection invites four artists and designers to interpret four elementary materials; glass, ceramics, metal and wood, creating a series of handles.
Nina Nørgaard, Yukari Hotta, Alberte Tranberg and Maria Bruun transform an everyday object into something highly personal, exploring the tension between craft and industrial manufacturing.

Bruun talks about wood as a soulful and democratic material that everyone can understand and shape in, even those who are not trained craftsmen. She highlights its constructive and tactile qualities.
Wood allows to make something strong, whether massive or slim, all while remaining soft and approachable.
