He focuses on furniture and product design and works with a wide range of domestic and foreign clients. With a functional and minimalist approach, he creates coherent collections as well as unique showpieces in close collaboration with Norm Architects' clients - always striving to design distinctive and iconic products. Frederik has national and international experience, having worked in Japan and consulted for Georg Jensen for over two years.

As for Emil Lagoni Valbak, he works on both space and furniture and then on a smaller scale, as he believes that as an architect and designer, this is where you have the most freedom and opportunity to follow the process from the drawing board to the finished product. The small scale allows him to dive into the fascination with furniture and participate in the dialogue about how to create good design. An eye for proportion and how a piece of furniture can be combined in both function and form are important elements of the design process for him. The same can be said for the effect of materials on each other and the expression of the furniture. Only when you have explored all aspects can you fully exploit them and create furniture that is distinctive in both form and workmanship.

Hannes Peer Architecture is an architecture and design studio that specializes in luxury retail, hospitality and residential spaces, founded in 2009 and based in Milan.

The constant theme is the search for eclecticism as well as high quality in the design at all scales through the study of the close relationship between architecture, historical context and new technologies mediating between craftsmanship and industrial production. The language used in the design is stratified and eclectic, uniting poetic vision and rigorous design. The studio’s projects are recognizable by their strong iconographic identity, based upon continuous research on colours and materials and the contamination between the various contemporary languages. The style is a mix of traditional and contemporary, the overlapping of different styles, highlighting the respect for historical elements, including and superimposing contemporary elements, giving the whole project a sense of eclecticism and uniqueness. The projects are sophisticated also in terms of materials. This has much to do with the richness of the palette of elements that are used, such as silk rugs, oxidised metals, aged timbers, surfaces with different transparencies, textural surfaces, etc. The opulence of these textures mixed with the drama of the natural lighting imbue the space with a sense of theatre. The lusciousness of the textures and the theatrical nature of the space undoubtedly carry the stamp of a deeply Italian architectural and decorative research.

Current work of the studio encompasses a wide range of projects varying in scale including residential, commercial, office and retail sectors, Italy wide as well as beyond italian borders. Since the beginning of his career he has constantly designed unique design pieces for private clients and handcrafted prototypes in his atelier for his continuous formal and conceptual design research.

Marta Bakowski’s designs are a celebration of colours and materials, two major elements which are often the starting point of her projects. Her objects follow simple and graphical shapes with an elementary functionality, thus leaving room for tactility & expressive qualities while encouraging imagination et interpretation. By working with dualities and de-contextualisations, her designs are a game of oppositions, contrasts and hijacks. Natural materials meet technological ones, crafts flirt with industry and primitive inspirations transform into pop and modern translations. For the designer, it is a matter of developing a language that allows  objects to go beyond practicality. By creating links and strong evocations through the development of aesthetical values, her aim is to arouse emotions and encourage relationships between users and objects.
