2023 / ATELIER COLLECTION X REFORM / COPENHAGEN

Atelier Collection

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.

Porcelain handles by Yukari Hotta

Hotta's superorganic shapes speak of the tension between softness, adaptability and hardness. A sense of awe of the material marks her process, which she sees as a dialogue between the maker and the material; the material influences the shape in mind. Clay wants to do what it wants to do. As making ceramics is a notoriously slow process, it is up to the maker to listen, patiently wait, and rework.
