Mother of Pearl – Rosa – 175mm – by Åsa Jungnelius
Åsa Jungnelius, born 1975. She finds inspiration in her own reality. She is interested in how materiality, space and objects change and affect people, our relationship to each other and our surroundings, as well as how it reflects our time. She doesn’t see art as something separate from our lives, and considers it relevant to be involved in designing our surroundings. For her as a designer, it’s about the atmosphere she can create in those environments, and she loves to create things aimed at a wider audience and to create the reality of where people are.
Åsa has worked with glass as a material since she was 17. She has worked with Kosta Boda since 2007, and today she’s also a lecturer at the University of Arts, Crafts and Design (Konstfack). She has previously initiated and run Residence-In-Nature, WeWorkInAFragileMaterial and LASTSTUDIO. One of her larger works includes the art installation Snäckan (Seashell), which in a tribute to motherhood will embrace the upcoming metro station Hagaplan in Stockholm. Over the years, she has received a number of awards – for example, she’s been named Designer of the Year in Sweden by both FORM AWARD and EDIDA (Elle Decoration International Design Award), she’s a two-time winner of the Elle Decoration Swedish Design Award, and has received both the Form Award and the Bukowski Born Classic for her designs.
