CASE STUDY
— NEW FOLK
Design
Whether using traditional or innovative materials, designers lean on the craft and expertise of former practitioners to carve, shape, mould or weave. Employing techniques and cross-cultural elements that honour the inspiration of craftspeople and artisans who have gone before them, they continue the idioms but expand the expressions in contemporary works. These totems for a modern tribe, bearing character earned by the passing of time, are displayed in a building owned by Ole Høstbo, founder of gallery Dansk Møbelkunst, a specialist in in rare and original works of Danish design, who also loaned several pieces.

India’s creativity, natural resources, extensive skills, technological advancements and deep historical roots deserve wider recognition and appreciation.
CINCINATTI MODERN
High on a hillside in Cincinnati, sits a two-storey modernist wonder by two unsung heroes of American architecture, built for an art collector in the 1980s and that has been given a sensitive makeover to accommodate the collection of its second owner.
