MILAN DESIGN WEEK | Morten & Jonas | SATELLITE
Morten & Jonas showcased along side a series of their Norwegian colleagues, like Silje Nesdal from yesterdays post within Satellite on stand B29-31. The two boys having studied together for five years at Bergen Academy of art and design, where they finished their Masters in Design specializing in furniture and spacial design put together a collection with a soft and sophisticated Nordic tone. Their crafted product photography by Nina Ruud styled by Per Olav Sølvberg gave strength to their cause with it’s well thought through advertorial quality.
The collection shown at Satellite comprises of a series of products including:
( all products in first hero image above )
Up and down > Floor lamp which you can turn the shade up side down. To get an up light or a down light. Material: Steel base and vacuum molded plastic shade
Von Iron >> Coffee tables inspired by old and traditional black smith crafts of twisting raw iron. The twisted iron gives the table legs a elegant light/shadow effect. Material: smoked oak and raw iron.
3 of a kind >>> One shape, three different materials. Turn it 60 degrees either way and choose what kind of material you want to expose. The three materials reflects the light in different ways, with an almost mushroom like silhouette. Material: corian, oak and coated steel.
That’s right >>>> One of our favourite pieces a wood turned bowl that is divided into four separat pieces – like a pizza. Connected together with strong magnets you can mix and create your own expression with different colors. Materials: wood turned ash.
Plenty >>>>> Hand-blown glass retention in different colors and sizes, Fill the void with plenty of your loveliness. Material: hand-blown glass and wood caps.
Crystal >>>>>> A table lamp made out of hand blown glass and a aluminum base. The round milk white glass reflects the light and gives the lamp a glowing effect. Materials: hand blown glass and coated aluminum
Inside >>>>>>> A tribute to the most generous and the kindest lady in Bergen. A pendulum light consisting of two hand blown glasses, where the outer glass is smooth and clear, and the inside is a turned hand blown glass that makes you want to look twice. Material: hand blown glass and steel suspension
Hoff >>>>>>>> Which was the piece that gained most attention within the show, the Hoff being a playful, colourful and a modular sofa. With custom made textile collaboration between by Kioshi yamamoto and Morten Jonas. Mix and match different sizes and colors to get the look you desire. Material: steal wood base and textile.
Imono >>>>>>>>> Small tables made out Norwegian pine with elegant finish of the woodwork. Two sizes – two different table legs. The shape is inspired by the elegant forms in the Japanese kimono clothing. Materials: Pine and coated steel
We only had the chance to shoot and speak to Jonas as the duo were multi tasking and also exhibiting a new lamp for Northernlighting within Euro Luce at Stand E01 Hall 13. The shot of their Hoff modular sofa flooded social media over the week, so I am sure they will have some successful stories to tell in the weeks to come.
