this is ditte's creation of a light-up blanket, can you imagine?
"Even if the influence of traditional scandinavian furniture design on her work is unmistakable, ditte hammerstrøm's design is far removed from dry nordic functionalism." as quoted from nora schmidt at architonic, you too will hopefully be captivated by ditte's simply out of this world design. i see her pieces as modern as something out of the jetson's t.v. show to simplistically beautiful scandinavian design and then all of that thrown together with a slight twist...if you know what i mean? a fuzzy line between art and design. between funk and functionality. just so fun to ogle. the texture of her fabrics caught my eye, i love the fact that she leaves her pieces somewhat wrinkly and bumpy. love that.
schmidt goes on to explain "since graduating from the danish design school in copenhagen she has, together with a number of other young designers, presented designs which more or less experimentally explore new directions beyond the modernistic danish classics – not easy in a country with such rich design traditions." ditte is a must peek for an intriguing new website and new artist. so i'll place her under 2 categories today, fab furniture and art, art and more art!
