An ode to the historic architecture of Copenhagen. Taking its cues from the suspended catenary streetlights and cobbled stone streets of designer Nikolai Kotlarczyk’s home city, Indre departs from the purely pared-back and minimal. Drawing on nostalgia and decoration, the collection delivers beauty through its delicately rendered double-wall glass capsules that gently cradle floating internal light. Individual capsules are connected by the graceful lines of a catenary-inspired interlinking rod system anchored with stone or timber detailing.
Indre’s extensive modularity allows the series to adapt to all scenarios – refined singular pendants and table lamps, elegant linear compositions for reception, dining or bar settings, and grand multi-tiered chandeliers bringing drama and prestige to large voids.

Prototype. 2020.
Architecturally inspired, the Chapel series of coffee tables cleverly utilise transparency and geometry to create modern designs that evoke a subtle sense of nostalgia and opulence. The series takes inspiration from my travels to Italy and the magnificent stained glass windows of many baroque churches throughout the country. Made up of simple circular voids, the rose windows were used by architects as a visual mandala to bring symmetry and balance to the space.
Available in three sizes with a range of glass top options.

The Elemento series of solid glass mirrors follow on from the Scena range for Portego. Taking motifs and elements from their bigger brothers, the Elemento series are all handmade in Murano. Each piece is carved by hand and then silvered just as traditional methods in glass mirror making.

The Scena Mirrors are the first in a series of designs for Italian editor Portego. Inspired by the architecture of Andrea Palladio, the series references his use of perspective and unique point of view within his spaces. Produced in Murano from carved glass, both the front and the rear of mirror is cut and carved to produce an illusion of perspective within the piece.
A large ritualistic function of the Catholic church is that of confession and reflection. Using these rituals to alter ones habits or personas, these spaces are often viewed as a site of renewal or cleansing.
The Barocche series mixes the reference of architectural layouts from catholic churches in Lisbona, Pari, and Turino respectively, with the concept of masking ones identity. These almost alien faces emerge from the columns and domes of their physical environments, questioning ones own reflection within them.
