Happy Saturday Everyone :) I hope you all have a chance to sleep for a little bit longer today...
Today's post is dedicated to the soft stuff, like cushions, throws and blankets in respect to the weekend.

I have met Jorunn Hustoft at DesignJunction during London Design week, she was presenting her own company called Nnuroj. I was curious to see all those lovely knitted items she was showing. 
The company was launched in the summer of 2012. Jorunn is Norwegian designer, who works from her studio near the seaside in Brighton, UK. She is using a hand-powered domestic knitting machine to manufacture all her produces. Every textural detail is created by hand to achieve the luxurious, high-quality finish. The modernisation of traditional crafts techniques is a central theme within the development of her designs. Inspired by lace making, upholstery and the ways that wool can benefit our living environment, her main concerns during the design process are to create pieces that are unique, durable and sustainable.

I couldn't not to stop by Fenella Elms Ceramic's stand at DesignJunction design fair. I thought it was something really creative and unique. Fenella works with clay and creates those wonderful porcelain art pieces. 

Fenella says that Aspects of her past career in mental health continue to influence her work with clay: the subconscious approach, a sense of rhythm, attention to detail and difference. She doesn’t seek to put her experiences into the clay, but marvel at how they emerge.


From the website:
There are 3 ceramic collections: Flows, Edges and Sculptures.

Flows
Mounted for wall hang­ing, these works are in­tu­itively built in porce­lain clay to cre­ate shift­ing per­spec­tives.  In­di­vid­u­ally made beads of clay joined to a sheet of porce­lain with slip be­fore the whole work is fired to­gether to make one, sin­gle piece.  





Edges
Very fine rib­bons of mostly porce­lain clay del­i­cately aligned and joined with slip to cre­ate in­tri­cate struc­tures. After fir­ing, these struc­tures are mounted (in the dif­fer­ent ways il­lus­trated below) for wall hang­ing.



Sculpture
Ribbons of porcelain in a mobius or twisted double helix form with fine porcelain interleaves to build structures that hold light and alter form.
