JONAS WAGELL ON HIS TEA SET DESIGN "
Bulky has a colourful and expressive design with slightly oversized details. Its playful form is inspired by fairy tales and children’s story books where things and shapes were exaggerated and emphasized to fit a kid’s wild imagination. The name Bulky further underlines the over-dimensioned and friendly proportions of the tea set.”

ON HIS DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
My design is focused on functional items rather than artistic objects. I appreciate products that can be used every day and be part of people’s lives. I believe affection and emotion is more important than exclusivity and expensive materials. My aim is to create simplistic objects that are easy to understand and use, but try to add something warm and human - a certain character or personal DNA, if you will. I like to call this philosophy
generous minimalism

ON NEW NORDIC DESIGN
Nordic design is rooted in social values about functionality and accessibility for all. Simplistic materials and moderate forms reflect the Nordic soul. This is the heritage of New Nordic which evolves with contemporary influences into a collection of future classics.
