Kristina Dam, the new Nordic minimalism

 

Sculptural forms, natural materials and desaturated colors highlight new metaphysical interiors that eliminate distractions to promote relax and fulfillment.    

Founded in 2012 in Copenhagen, Kristina Dam’s brand is one of the exponents of the new Scandinavian minimalism. Its approach is distinguished by the sculptural cut of its collections, which combine curves and straight lines that give shape to a reassuring interior, rarefied and with no frills, and always devoted to practicality.

"To me Nordic minimalism means that less is more," declares Kristina, stressing how "a minimalistic interior might help you to feel unworried and composed”. Made of bent sheet metal, her Curved Bench is not only an essential bench, but also a mini architecture that works as a magazine rack. Stack Storage Box revisits the archetype of the wooden box, transforming it into a stackable storage unit. Stool, a stool made of oak, emphasizes its graphic character with its balance of solids and voids, circles and straight lines, turning it into a domestic icon of everyday life.
