Swedish designer Carina Seth Andersson is known for her deceptively simple looking, minimalist glass and ceramic work (her Dagg vase for Svenskt Tenn, designed in 2009, has achieved icon status). “My design process is about scaling back,” she says, “finding the balance between simplicity and meaningful form to create in pieces that have a timeless quality.”
Carina works with commissions from a wide range of Scandinavian and international design producers, including Iittala, Hackman, Skruf Glassworks, Svenskt Tenn, and Marimekko, among others. Here’s a look at some favorites:
