When I visited IKEA lastly twelvemonth for the Democratic Design Days inwards the jump of 2015, this was 1 of the collections I was most excited about.
The inspiration for it was drawn from inner-city environments of Republic of Republic of India as well as is sum of subtle textures as well as abstract patterns taken from objects that are normally overlooked, encouraging us to come across beauty inwards the seemingly mundane.
“My sentiment was to practice a modern interpretation of Republic of Republic of India as well as its heritage, a province alongside designs that are perceived inwards the West every bit colorful, golden as well as shiny.” Martin Bergström

Known for his bold as well as avant-garde designs, he uses everything from ink stains to forgotten handicraft techniques to convey his ideas to life.
To practice an icon of what contemporary Republic of Republic of India looks like, 25 students from NIFT (National Institute of Fashion Technology) inwards New Delhi were invited to a workshop alongside Martin Bergström. The students used inspiration coming from unexpected places; patterns inwards surfaces as well as distressed walls, from dangling cables hanging over the streets, as well as thence made imprints or drawings of them. The destination was to smasher a residue betwixt the organic as well as the abstract, to honour poesy inwards things that some people may overlook.
“We made over 2000 drawings inwards the workshop, piece inwards the lastly collection at that topographic point are around xv patterns." Martin Bergström
"With their angular, slightly unpredictable look, these mouth-blown glassware pieces are a skillful example of Bergstrom's imperfect designs.
