Infinite Visual Simplicity
Busy times indeed for the talented Finnish designer Sebastian Jansson. Not only did Stephen Burks, New York designer and founder of the Readymade Project, nominate him for Blickfang in Basel last weekend but, later this week, he will be exhibiting at Salone Satellite in Milan.
Style is never the starting point for Sebastian Jansson´s designs. Rather, style is a consequence of the infinite visual simplicity he achieves through a unity of symbolism, structure, materials and the human beings he had in mind when carrying out his initial research. Take a look below at some our favorite recent designs from Sebastian Jannson:

Angell Wyller Aarseth New Work
Despite the fact that we wrote about the Norwegian design team of Angel Wyller Aarseth only a few days ago, we wanted to share with you their latest designs that have just been unveiled in preparation for Salone Satellite. Take a look below at three new design favorites of ours; the highly unconventional Dark Matters Lamp, the quirky Mono Cup and the ultra sleek Trestle Mirror.

Immortal Scandinavian Design
The Norwegian design team of Angell Wyller Aarseth are busy making last minute preparations to exhibit their new Handle Me range during Milan Design Week (12-17 April) as part of Salone Satellite.
Simen Aarseth, Christoffer Angell and Øyvind Wyller are three individual designers who have collaborated on a number of projects since completing Master Degrees in design at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts. We love the simplicity and timelessness of their new range. It reminds us of one of our all time favorite Scandinavian design classics; the cast iron pot that Timo Sarpaneva designed for Rosenlew in 1960. Take a look below to find out more about the Handle Me collection:

Playful Scandinavian Purist
One of our favorite Swedish designers, Fredrik Färg is busy preparing to show his new Succession Collection, first in Milan and then in New York. The new designs are intended to remind us – in shape and spirit – of animals from a time gone by. Dressed in leather and textile, the stools have been brought to life through a relatively complex production process. The bases are made of an innovative composition of materials that have then been dressed in textile and leather before being tightly tied with ropes prior to baking. The result, when the ropes have been cut away, is a pattern without seams, as brutal as it is sophisticated and refined. Take a look below at more images of the Succession Collection together with some of our other favorite designs by Fredrik Färg
