Background
”Jeg brænder for bæredygtighed og kvalitet. Jeg håber, vi kan sætte fokus på at elske de ting vi har og reparerer vores tøj, sko og tasker, fremfor at smide brænde på det bål der hedder overforbrug.”

Japanese repair techniques

Based on the Japanese aesthetic tradition wabi-sabi, which focuses on finding beauty in imperfection, the designer has investigated how lines can be drawn between Japanese and Danish design culture. On a surface level they are largely similar, but if you dive deeper, you will discover that each culture works with the same elements in highly different ways. The designer has also worked to draw elements from nature and from Japanese repair techniques into her collection.
