JONAS WAGELL 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.
JONAS WAGELL 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.
