Formex Formidable 2012
Object: FANNY Vase
Company: Klong
Designer: 3do/Ami Katz
The Jury’s motivation:
A sculptural object that captures our prevailing love of flowers and fascination with brass. With glimmering inspiration from Art Nouveau and the Wiener Werkstätte (Vienna Workshop), Fanny combines strictness and playfulness, innovation and forward-lookingness. A future classic, a stylized bouquet that does not require any flowers.
Jury:
Stefan Nilsson, trend expert from Trendgruppen, Dan Gordan, Editor of Sköna Hem, Kerstin Wickman, Professor of the History of Design and Crafts, designer Monica Förster, Monica Förster Design Studio, and Kajsa Falck-Torlegård, Formex.
