Honest design
Long lasting materials
Eye pleasing objects
Much of my attention is focused on how things are put together and how these meet their context. Something happens in the concrete meeting between two materials.
A void that previously had no meaning now takes on the greatest importance for the decoding of the design and its being in the world.
The foot that stands, the hand that grasps and the body that rests.
The clash or respect in this meeting is interesting and whether these meetings can be combined according to form and material.
By focusing on these meetings, it is possible to evoke the individual parts of the design, so that these appear in their entirety and with a clarity about their inherent qualities.
This approach also contributes to the design appearing logical, as it is clearly understood how form and material are put together. That this is clear to the viewer is achieved by the design being honest about its creation and presence.
Constructively, in several cases this can mean that already in the process it has been thought out how the individual parts can be assembled and taken apart, and how the product can be rebuilt, repaired or reused in the long term.
Nicolai Larsen is originally trained as a carpenter and now works as an architect and designer, blending his practical background with a keen sense of aesthetics. His approach is rooted in logic and realism, continuously shifting between idea and production, always with functionality in mind.
Drawing inspiration from everyday life and its essential needs, he challenges the objects we surround ourselves with, striving to create designs that are both purposeful and meaningful. His work reflects a rational understanding of form and material, resulting in designs that exhibit clarity and precision.
Throughout the creative process, he develops ideas through sketches and digital models, which are then refined through 3D printing, mockups, or prototypes to ensure they meet both visual and practical standards.
